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.
Actually, they'll support John Clod Kerry only because he's not GWB. Their hatred for Bush trumps all else.
