I, too, have suspected that the "supporters" would turn on Kerry if he starts to drop. Because I believe their support was a mile wide and an inch deep. They did not understand anything about their candidate except "he isn't Bush". They can never articulate why they are for him, only why they don't want Bush.
I, on the other hand, can tell you for ten minutes why I want Bush re-elected without ever mentioning anything about JFK. Therefore, my support is deep and would remain whether Bush was up or down in the polls.
So, I expect them to turn on him, for "running a poor campaign", being the "same as the Republicans", and a host of other reasons. Nader's numbers will go up as they realize they are not going to win and they might as well vote for the guy that really represents their position on the war.
Kerry is not used to losing or even being behind. He's been in office in liberal heaven for 20 years without ever really being challenged. Now, people are seeing how he responds when the going gets tough. I expect it will not be pretty and he will turn off even more tepid "supporters". When Kalifornia comes into play for Bush, then you will know it's over. No democrat, especially kerry, can even think about winning without Ca.'s 55 EV's. If Bush actually took Ca., that would be a 110 vote swing!
Finally, I wonder how Soros feels about throwing away 65 million bucks. I think his support will dry up real soon too.
You can bet the DemocRAT 'smear the Swiftees' campaign will be kicked up to a whole new level now.
Support for the Swiftees is crucial right now, so they can get these ads on the air on REGULAR TV in battleground states.
FReepers are key in getting the word out about the righteousness of the SBVFT by exposing Kerry's FRAUD.

Well, I remember that Bill Weld gave him a run for his money in 1996, and Kerry beat him in the debates (I think; Sam since you live there you can relate how close that Senate race was).
