I love it ... what Dowdy doesn't understand is that the majority of Americans have exactly the same "cultural" tastes as President Bush, or as near as makes no difference. People, unless they are left-wing nutballs, LIKE President Bush.

John Kerry is such a goof. The more people learn about him, the less they will like him. Some will vote for him, but only because they hate Republicans, not because they like Kerry.

That's what a lot of journalists are saying. They never talk to anyone who's enthusiastic about John Kerry, only those who support him because they think he can win. That's why Kerry looked sure to lose at the beginning of his campaign: he didn't light any fires in anyone. The funny thing is that Kerry seems to be convinced himself that he is a charismatic politician in the John Kennedy mold -- or maybe it's the sad thing.

It's hard to believe that Kerry could ever win, but since Clinton did twice, it's a good idea to keep one's fingers crossed. I figured anyone would be able to see through Clinton, toom, but so many didn't. Maybe the difference is that Clinton could connect with ordinary anxious voters more. This time, at least, there won't be a Perot running.

You are right...I know diehard Democrats who will hold their nose and vote for Kerry. They find him a flipflopper and some veterans I know are pissed at him beating his chest about his war service as if the National Guard flying planes was a cushy job (National Guardsmen went to Vietnam as well). Whenever I hear the words "John Kerry wore a uniform and fought for his country" I say "so did Lee Harvey Oswald (Marines) and Timothy McVeigh (Army)."
