Politics: Three Debates

[washingtonpost.com]

Monday, September 20, 2004 Elections 2004 Bush, Kerry Tentatively Settle on 3 Debates Both presidential campaigns have tentatively settled on a debates package that each side views as a potentially decisive chance to sway huge audiences ahead of the election, Democrats and Republicans said. Edwards Is No Cheney -- And That's the Plan The Democratic vice presidential nominee and campaign aides argue that Edwards is playing the role for which he was cast -- to build up John F. Kerry's image as a leader and to tear down Bush's record, especially to independent and swing voters. • Edwards Calls Hastert's Remarks 'Politics of Fear' Voter Probes Raise Partisan Suspicions The Justice Department in recent weeks has launched several criminal inquiries into alleged voter fraud in key presidential battlegrounds, but Democrats complain they are putting too much emphasis on investigating new voter registrations in poor and minority communities -- which tend to favor Democrats. Sen. John F. Kerry is aiming to be the third sitting senator to be elected president. Other than John F. Kennedy, who is the only senator to win? A. James K. Polk B. Rutherford B. Hayes C. Benjamin Harrison D. Warren G. Harding Advertisement Get your news just the way you like it.
