...Story will become the first feature film ever to premiere at the Vatican. The creation tale of this movie is, by Hollywood standards, pretty miraculous. Screenwriter Mike Rich told his agent last November that he would like to write a story that many Christians have seen performed every Christmas Eve of their lives--but this time without first-graders playing the wise men. "If I had brought this subject matter into the mainstream studio system four or five years ago, I don't know if I would have gotten my calls returned," says Rich, who wrote the 2002 baseball movie...
...Oppenheimer, however, thinks the election eve ads Corker put out attacking Ford's family - his father is a once-indicted former Congressman, his uncle awaiting a bribery trial from his state lawmaker past in Memphis - kept Ford on the defensive in the late stages. Corker also benefited from Ford's ill-advised attempt to disrupt a Corker press conference late in the race, adds Oppenheimer...
...President Bush's performance is a voting issue and is likely a factor in energizing Democrats on the eve of the election.

Bush's approval rating remained in the doldrums, at 37% - essentially unchanged from our last poll, Oct.3 (36%) and the one before that, Aug.22...

Whoever sent out an obscene letter to 14,000 Spanish-surnamed voters in Southern California's Orange County doesn't strike me as the love-thy-neighbor type...

On the eve of the Civil War, 80% of the states did, largely to block African Americans, who though rarely allowed to vote were disproportionately represented among felons. Today, the impact of these laws still falls disproportionately on poor, minority males, a fact that seems to have skewed more than a few elections. Anyone familiar with the details of the deadlocked 2000 presidential race will recall that tens of thousands of likely Democratic voters were disenfranchised...
