Invoking the twin horrors of Pearl Harbor and Sept. 11, Vice President Dick Cheney on Monday ripped Sen. John Kerry's record on national security. "If you want my opinion, John Kerry's goose is cooked," Cheney told hundreds of cheering supporters in Colorado Springs, Colo. The vice president began the day in Honolulu, where he drew parallels between Pearl Harbor and Sept. 11, asserting that Kerry neither understands nor has a plan to win today's war on terror. Cheney said that "the clearest, most important difference in this campaign is simple to state: President Bush understands the war on terror and has a strategy for winning it. John Kerry does not."
"Hope will arrive' today, Edwards says
Sen. John Edwards implored Democrats in battleground states to vote in today's election and predicted victory for presidential candidate John Kerry, saying, "Tomorrow, hope will arrive." The Democratic vice presidential nominee, who for months has declared on the campaign trail that "Hope is on the way," thanked workers at an Iowa phone bank. Later in Pompano Beach, singer Jimmy Buffett was scheduled to warm up the crowd.
China calls Bush policy "catastrophic'The Bush administration has embraced a "catastrophic" go-it-alone strategy in world affairs that may topple the United States from global dominance, China said Monday in an unusual official commentary. The commentary, on the Web sites of the English-language newspaper China Daily and the Communist Party's People's Daily , argued that Bush's antiterrorism policies had made the United States more unpopular around the globe than at any time in decades.
Nader holds rally on Wall StreetRalph Nader ended his campaign Monday with a rally on Wall Street, where he dismissed Democratic charges that his independent run for the White House could help President Bush win re-election. "The only time you waste a vote is when you vote for someone you don't believe in," Nader told a crowd of about 300 supporters and several hecklers. "A vote of conscience is never a wasted vote. If you don't vote for what you want, you'll never get it."
