On top of which, if you're into polls, check out the comments for this BC post. Kerry is headed for a no-sweat win.

Is all this what's called "whistling through the graveyard?" Besides, if the right were smart, they'd hope that Bush lost because next year everything done wrong on terrorism, the invasion of Iraq, and the economy will catch up with whoever is sitting in the White House. They should be hoping that's not Bush.

Bush's re-election is assured. He'll come out of the convention with a nice bounce and Kerry will find it impossible to catch him. Of course, it will be fun watching the rightists squirm when Bush savagely raises payroll and consumption taxes and cuts domestic spending early in his second term.

Everyone knows I'm a supporter of the President. With that said, anything could happen between now and election day, so I'm in "wait-and-see" mode. BTW - Dana Stevens, and strong supporter of Senator Kerry's campaign published an article on Slate. Here is an outtake (snip):

If He Only Had a Heart John Kerry tanks on The Daily Show. By Dana Stevens Posted Wednesday, Aug. 25, 2004, at 9:06 AM PT From the moment the senator appeared and sat down on the gray sofa where, just last week, Bill Clinton basked in the audience's applause like a cat lapping up cream, Kerry's charisma was less than zero: It was negative. He was a charm vacuum, forced to actually borrow mojo from audience members. He was a dessicated husk, a tin man who really didn't have a heart. His lack of vibrancy, his utter dearth of sex appeal made Al Gore look like Charo.

Ouch! David Flanagan
