What you're talking about is Common Tator's Rule Of Likeability. The rule simply states that the more likeable candidate in a presidential race always wins. Applying this rule, there is NO WAY Qerry will win. He is even LESS likeable than Algore. The Amurrican Pipple have had four years to watch GeeDubya on TV - and they still like him. The more Qerry is on TV, the LESS they like him.
As we say in the advertising business, nothing kills off great advertising faster than a bad product. Qerry is advertising a lot, and all of the Fraudcast TV Networks are giving him as much free airtime as he wants. Yet the more he's on, the less traction he gets. His only real hope of winning would be to totally disappear from now until the convention, and then disappear completely after it - surfacing only the weekend before the election.
That, of course, is not going to happen. By the time November rolls around, the general population (leaving out the die-hard kool-aid drinkers) will be SICK of Qerry.

“Resolve.”Kerry has always been a lightweight who never got any major legislation passed. Why are liberal reporters critizing Kerry for being Kerry?
In politics, you can’t beat something with nothing. Bush has a plan and a vision: His goal is to protect the American homeland by spreading democracy (by military force if necessary) to the cockpit of Islamic fundamentalism. This idea strikes many serious people as naïve and grandiose at best, dangerously imperious and counter-productive at worst. But what, precisely, is the better idea? Kerry certainly hasn’t made that clear.“Winning hearts and minds” sounds nice, but how do you do that these days? Relying on the United Nations sounds good, too, except that the U.N. has little real credibility. Reinventing the CIA clearly is necessary, but it will take America years if not decades to approach the sophistication of the British — and even they are eyeless in Gaza.
Polls show that voters still think it was a good idea to go to Iraq, though they think that by an ever-dwindling margin. But they probably won’t abandon that belief — or Bush — until they can clearly see an alternative answer. Indeed, in most important ways, Kerry seems to basically agree with Bush on the goals and current strategies in Iraq
