In a break with tradition, the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York, the city’s main firefighters union, endorsed George W. Bush for President . Bush's eyes welled up as he accepted the endorsement of the Uniformed Firefighters Association of Greater New York, the city's main firefighters union, which broke with its parent union to back the Republican president.

Michael Novak seems to think Bush, and he lists seven reasons why . Here's a list of the ones I found most interesting, No one — neither his colleagues nor his wife nor his supporters nor he himself — has anything good to say about John Kerry except that he served bravely in Vietnam. The nearly 30 years since then have generated few boasts on his part, few commendations from others, few successes anyone can seem to remember. The Democratic elite sitting in convention cannot present themselves as they are to the American people, but must stifle their deepest feelings, be silent about their most passionate aims, and hide their turbulent loathing of George Bush Republicans (lest it frighten independents with its ferocity). The Democratic elite is saying as little as possible about same-sex marriage. And guns. And very little about abortion. And not a word about total withdrawal of American troops from Iraq — quite the opposite. Democratic elites do not want the people to know wha...

Not those in the United States. According to this article , roughly 90% of Vietnamese in the United States are supporting George Bush over John Kerry. The article writes, Back in the United States, however, residents like Pauline Tran in Fairfax, Va. said that she would vote for Bush. Kerry, she said, was an anti-war activist and was part of the reason why South Vietnam was defeated. Others said they will vote for Bush to punish Kerry. Dung Nguyen, who lives in the United States, says that he supports Bush because, "He is against dictatorship, helped Vietnam fight AIDS, and he is anti-human trafficking." Minh Nguyen said that Kerry doesn't deserve his vote because "Kerry did not support the U.S. resolution against human rights violations in Vietnam." In a Cali Today poll, 90 percent of Vietnamese Americans said they would vote for Bush, and only 10 percent said they would vote for Kerry.

For the first time in history, a presidential candidate did not receive a significant bounce in the polls after the convention. Fox News Reports , Newsweek poll taken Thursday and Friday gave Kerry and running mate John Edwards (search) a narrow lead, 49 percent to 42 percent for President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney (search) and 3 percent for independent Ralph Nader and Peter Camejo. — A USA Today-Gallup poll released Sunday found Bush and Cheney slightly ahead among likely voters in a three-way matchup, 50 percent to 46 percent for Kerry-Edwards and 2 percent for Nader-Camejo. The two major tickets were tied among registered voters in a three-way race. — A CBS News poll released Monday found the Democratic ticket slightly ahead of Bush-Cheney, 48 percent to 43 percent with Nader at 3 percent. The three-way race in early July was tied with Kerry-Edwards at 45 percent, Bush-Cheney at 43 percent and Nader-Camejo at 5 percent.

The Democrat National Convention is currently going on in Boston. We've all seen the list of speakers, from Bill Clinton to Al Sharpton. But there is one person that isn't going to be a speaker at this year's Democrat Convention: Senator Zell Miller from Georgia. That wouldn't be very important if it was just any Senator, but what makes Zell Miller important is that he is himself a Democrat, and a very prominent Democrat. In fact, he was a speaker at the Democrat National Convention in New York twelve years ago in support of Bill Clinton and against George H. W. Bush. What makes a sitting Democrat Senator for the first time in his life vote Republican, and speak at the opposite party's convention(first time in history?), well, instead of me telling you, I'll let Senator Miller explain for himself .
