Y'know, I've been thinking...regardless of the polls at this moment, Kerry is not going to beat Bush.

Which brings up the question: once his treason in Vietnam has caused Bush to open up a 15-point lead, will he be Torricellied? I've heard that there were some, even in the GOP, who discussed the possibility of a last-minute switch in 1996 from the obvious loser Dole to the (less obvious loser) Colin Powell, but the GOP wasn't low enough to pull such a thing.

The Democrats, of course, have proven that they're low enough to even go after Bush's daughters. So is Kerry going to be denied the nomination in spite of "winning" it numerically?

Dang, you're smart. The Clinton/McAuliffe team controls the DNC. Convention is in Boston, home to Botox Kerry. What do you think?

Hmmmm....a distinct possibility....after all, there IS that "cancer thing" ( a handy way out ). Since I'm from New Jersey, I've seen it all & I believe nothing is out of bounds with this crew.....
