Vote early, vote often
In an unusual series of events, the Navajo Tribal Council endorsed U.S. Rep. Rick Renzi for re-election to Congress on Monday with a unanimous vote, rejected Democratic challenger Paul Babbitt on Tuesday and then changed its position by voting in favor of Babbitt Wednesday.
Which is to say, the council supports both candidates, although Renzi has a unanimous vote and Babbitt’s endorsement passed by a 40-36 vote.

“The big question about Kerry is, Will he pull the trigger?

The thing about the Red Sox …
is now we have to look at those icky helmets for another four-to-seven games. What’s with that?

“In an interview in USA Today, Teresa Heinz Kerry said she didn’t think Laura Bush, who was a public school librarian for nine years, had ever held a ‘real job.’ Let me tell you something, if you’re a librarian married to George W. Bush, there is no harder job on earth.”

“But down in Florida in the early voting, there were computer glitches, confusing ballots, long lines and chaos. And when President Bush heard about this, he said, ‘Mission accomplished!’”
—David Letterman
“A man was arrested in Ohio after being paid in crack to register voters. They were paying people in crack to register voters. You know it’s scary enough that the election is going to be decided by the undecided. But to be decided by undecided crack heads. That’s really bad.”
