Interesting comments at the end of the article.

Valyda Shuba, a political independent from Walker, said the economy trumps terrorism as an election-year issue for her.

She voted for Bush in 2000 but is unsure whether she will again.

"I can't afford four more years of this economy," the retired Rockwell Collins employee said.

Although recent polls show fighting terrorism ranks in the top five among the nation's priorities, the issue isn't considered a deciding factor among voters, said polling expert James Stimson of the University of North Carolina.

"That could all change if there were another terrorist act in the U.S. of Sept. 11th magnitude," said Stimson, former chairman of the University of Iowa political science department.

1. Iowa Democrats Rock

I heard on KUNI public radio this morning that the party will have a bus that will follow Bush's "Yes, America can" bus. It is the "Yes, American can, but Bush Can't" bus.

Way to go!!!
