The polls have not been kind to erstwhile front-runner John Kerry, so the Democratic presidential candidate has settled on a novel solution: make 'em up.
"Let me tell you something," he said Thursday on the CBS "Early Show." "John McCain was 30 points behind Bush in New Hampshire at this point in time." The point was clear: Kerry, far behind Howard Dean in New Hampshire, would have a come-from-behind victory, just as McCain did over George W. Bush in 2000.
Well, not exactly. At this time four years ago, an American Research Group poll found McCain with a 37 percent to 30 percent lead over Bush in New Hampshire. And a Franklin Pierce College poll put McCain's lead at 15 points.

It's getting embarrassing to watch Kerry lately. I almost feel sorry for him. Well, not quite, but almost.

The rest of the article skewers him again and again, and does the same to several of the other dwarves, too.

You know the best part?
John Kerry has been preparing for this election since he was a very young man. He truly feels entitled to be President. It is so much fun to watch him going down in flames. Talk about a miserable failure! I hope his wife dumps him next because he is a loser.

The good news is that Kerry might get so disgusted with his poor showing and lack of receptivity by his party that he may not run for Senate re-election. Maybe Romney or someone from the party he's builiding up could make a bid for the seat.
