I have nothing on which to base this save my gut feeling, but kerry and the rats have peaked way too soon. I expect kerry to start slipping in the polls soon, get a surge at the Bill and Hillary show ,AKA democrat convention, then implode.

You raise a key point: no one knows what Bill and Hillary will do. They CANNOT allow a "President Kerry" (or Edwards) unless Hillary is Veep. Right now, Edwards appears to be angling for that spot.

I agree that Feb. is way too early to get worked up about this stuff, good or bad. I think your intuition is right---but, then, weirder things have happened in politics.
