TRENTON, N.J. (AP) -- In a stunning declaration, Gov. James E. McGreevey announced his resignation Thursday and acknowledged that he had an affair with another man.

Pollster: Bush effort to negatively define Kerry falls short
From: NewsTrove.com
"WASHINGTON - President Bush's multimillion-dollar attempt to define Democrat John Kerry negatively through advertising hasn't done a good enough job and "isn't mission accomplished," a Republican pollster says.
"The Bush campaign needs to move Kerry further to the left to make him unelectable," pollster Tony Fabrizio wrote Thursday in a memo. Continuing to allow Kerry to be seen by voters as "a benign liberal," Fabrizio wrote, is "a grave and costly strategic error."
The memo outlined results of a poll Fabrizio's firm took of voters in 19 states where most of Bush's television ads have run."

Prospect.org News Story
From: NewsTrove.com
"For most Americans, the last four years have represented a low point in our economic history. But for the big-business interests financing the Bush campaign, these have been high times. In previous eras, and even under previous Republican administrations, corporate America was one of a number of players in the public-policy arena. But under the Bush administration, big business is both the player and the referee, having finally won its decades-long campaign to eliminate the boundary between executive suite and public office."
