He was already President. It makes a difference. It really does.
It doesn't matter so much as far as real terms. But Kerry is going to take a hit in the race from this. Edwards will take a bonus. Kerry is running on hot air, not merit. It would only take one needle to puncture his balloon.
You know, I really don't think so anymore. What I do suppose is that the dems are circled around the table in the war room, discussing strategy for dealing with this. The mantra will begin to hit our televisions this afternoon or this evening. It will be covered up, or put back into the face of the mean-spirited, hateful republicans.
I am telling you, Kerry is their man no matter what.
Character doesn't matter to these people. They have been using the phrases "anyone but Bush" and "whoever can beat Bush" and this is their horse.
