br> While a number of early voting surveys show President Bush with about a 15 percent edge over Sen. John Kerry (D-Viet.), some Bush campaign staffers are nonetheless concerned about the timing of when those votes were being made. /p>"There is little you could control about those votes, in terms of the information the voter had in hand at the time," says the campaign staffer. "You don't know, could that person's vote have been different had they seen the bin Ladin tape. Or had they heard Kerry crassness a few more times. You just don't know. And it is that uncertainty that drives you nuts."
