[Leroy S. Mort]

Its not Bush vs Kerry, it's Bush vs Not Bush. There's only a small percentage of the left who can get excited about that.

True, and, as I keep saying, no matter who thinks they control the news, EVENTS control the news, and odds suggest that Bush is in for a much better time (transfer of power in Iraq; capture of Zawahiri/Zahqari/bin Laden/Mullah Omar; big victories over al-Sadr or in Fallujah; another terrorist attack---which, perversely, will remind Americans what a weenie Kerry is and how strong Bush is; and, of course, the continually growing economy). At some point, no "spin" is going to convince people that things are "going badly." They will look at their wallets; at the fact that the U.S. hasn't been attacked; at the tremendously negative "aura" that the Dems give off, and Bush will win convincingly.
