I'm no longer as sure of that as I once was. Kerry's not-quite-spoken promise to "make all this war stuff go away" is very appealing to an ever-growing segment of the electorate. A repeat of the Spanish election debacle is not out of the question.

An interesting follow-up to my original observation: I was sitting in a (rather nice) restaurant this afternoon, and I nearly dropped my fork when I overheard a guy behind me say, "Before I was all 'Bush, Bush, Bush', but it would be nice to have a break. I think we've shown everybody who's boss, now."

I was wondering how to turn around and let the guy have it for his appalling naivete, but his conversation turned to his divorce proceedings and how he was going to keep his wife from getting anything.

Then the restaurant rejected his credit card.

At that point, I figured nothing I could say to him would make any difference. The point is, the attitude of "let's take a break" is out there, and a lot of liberals and moderates like the idea.

I am hearing what you are hearing. People want their lives to go on interrupted and they don't want to admit that terrorism is not going away. They want relief, and that is what the demrats are promising, that they are going to make it go away. With stress of jobs, raising kids and helping elderly parents, who wouldn't want to be able to let someone else worry about how US is going to be "business as usual".

HOw many of population are on computers? How many are actually participatin in these polls, and how many polls are Freeped?? Makes you wonder doesn't it, how correct our info is anymore.
