"I think that as more stories about Kerry come out, his weak support among Dems will waver. With John Kerry, Dems have been sold a pig in a poke."

Yes. The question is will his support erode so much by the time of the Dem convention that he bows out in favor of a "draft" candidate.

Kerry won't bow out, he'll go down fighting tooth and nail. I think either the delegates will revolt at the convention and force a draft candidate, or the Clinton machine will pull a surprise and knock his legs out from underneath him.

Either way, I will be very surprised if Kerry survives the convention. He is making too many mistakes too early and his support is not particularly strong among Dems. I think Kerry knows he is in trouble and the pressure is causing him to make stupid mistakes.
