No, more like a tailwind. If Bush delivers a great speech, he will take the lead for good and never have to look back. The rest is gravy. No wonder the Kerry Campaign is wetting its panties. This wasn't supposed to be happening.
I was away from my computer and the news last weekend and I was shocked to see the Kerry campaign in disarray running around like chickens with their heads cut off-- no plan, no message, contradicting themsevles and I said: (drumroll) They're getting bad news in their polling data and they've panicked. Now the polls are coming out and I see why the panic. Remarkably they and the mainstream press cannot get the Kerry ship righted. I have seldom seen such outright stupidity in a Presidential cmapaign. Why not stop digging when you're in a hole? But Kerry keeps digging day after day and the MSM, in trying to help him, only keep it in the public eye. This is so delicious.
