The thing about the Kerry Campaign is that it is very brittle. Instead of taking their lumps and running a decent and solid campaign to the end, even when they are down in the polls, like Dole did in 1996, or Mondale in 1984, this time we are going to see Kerry "explode," driving away supporters who now think things are hopeless, and keeping away Democratic voters from the polls. Look for Kerry to do an even worse job than McGovern in going down with the ship. I don't think modern history in the U.S. has had a presidential candidate fall apart the way Kerry will.

How many Kerry supporters will now see him as a loser and vote for the real antiwar candidate, Nader? How many will just stay home?

Many unaffiliated voters will go with the perceived winner.

Short of a catastrophe, Bush will never give up this lead. No candidate with a lead like this on Labor Day has ever lost.

And how many will just go flat out BONKERS and scream, "VIVA EL PRESIDENTE EZEQUIEL!!!"?

I don't know, but I DO know I'm agitating for Nader NOW. Those whose situation is such that in a political discussion, they've got to keep their conservatism in the closet, say, government workers, or educators, those are the folks best situated to spout pro-Nader and anti-Kerry stuff NOW. I'd be talking a lot how Kerry is a loser and at least we can get the really principled guy onto the national scene, blah blah blah (to steal a line from John F'in Kerry)...
