July 2

Nice piece in the Washington Post today on the role of popular culture in influencing elections - a hot topic at the moment as "Fahrenheit 9/11" continues to play to packed and polarized audiences.

By the same token, Post syndicated columnist Richard Cohen says "whoa, not so fast..."

The Washington Times, meanwhile, reports how Vice-President Dick Cheney is ratcheting up the attacks on Democrats, including former President Clinton, on the terrorism issue.

EJ Dionne in the Post reminds us how important it is for both candidates to convince voters that they will actually be able to govern in a divided nation.

Messrs Nagourney and Halbfinger in the New York Times look at the choice facing John Kerry in what is widely expected to be the weekend before he selects his running mate. The piece looks also at who it won't be, citing Bill Richardson's "Dear John" letter to Kerry.

CNN reports that Kerry raised $34m in June.
