Maybe, beinf from Taxachussetts, you like Kerry, but when WaPo is reporting it as well, you can't really chalk it up to the Wa Times lack of affection for the guy.

But privately, party Democrats acknowledged that if Kerry has some work to do in capturing the hearts, if not minds, of the base, then he must really hustle to win over the crucial swing voters who will probably decide the election

Yeah, thas a good sign when the last guy carried the state by 15....rme.

Yeah, living in Massachusetts means I love Kerry. LOL. You live in New York, so you must love you junior senator, too. Ha ha.

I spent the first 18 years of my life in NJ and had the good sense to get out when I can. At least my state doesn't turn down Republican governors when given the chance.

Of course Kerry has some problems in NJ. Look back at 2000, and Bush was tied or barely trailing Gore in that state at this time of year. He went on to win 15 points. I've seen this state "come home" to the 'RATs too many times to expect this year to turn out any different. If Bush is winning NJ, he's already won PA and OH and is heading back to the White House.

If you want to back off your original claim that the WashTimes articles shows Kerry panicking in NJ and about to divert a bunch of resources to the state, I'll be happy to meet you halfway and agree that Kerry has yet to inspire 'RATs in the Garden State to get excited about his campaign.

Which is really the point I was making about the shifting of the Battleground, from Nuetral states to states Gore Won. (This AM, a poll in FLA is being reported that has W up 7...)

P.S. Sorry about the Liking Kerry slur... ; )

No problem, being a blue-state conservative you must know what it's like to have to explain yourself constantly, too. There's a lot I love about Massachusetts and I don't let the politics take away from it.
