Election "Tightens"

On the eve of the big election, polls show the overall 11% lead that Democrats had has dropped to just 4%... Within the margin of error. Falling gas prices, record stock prices, and the lowest unemployment rate in over five years may be a factor, but just as likely, it is the Democrats failure to deliver any sort of alternative plan. They've promised for months to say what they plan to do if they take control, but decided in the end, it would be better NOT to say what they plan to do. (This is in contrast to the famous "Contract with America" that helped Republicans take control about a year ago.) Democrats have also taken a hit over Kerry's anti-military comments (repackaged as a "botched joke"). Their spin doctors went into overtime when the polls indicated it reduced undecided voters from voting Democrat by 18%. Chick avoids discussing politics in his tracts, but he is likely to address the election in an open letter in the upcoming issue of BATTLECRY (his bi-monthly newsletter).
