You don't warn your enemy when he's about to make a mistake.

Interesting comparision between the conservatives in Canada and the Dems in America. Not that I am happy for the conservative crack-up in the Great White North. But you can see how the extreme rhetoric has hurt them, just as it has in the Dems.

"When your campaign announces, as Kerry’s has, that you’re getting the most extreme liberal in the Senate to stump on your behalf, you know the game’s over."

It's been over since Katie Couric's soft pedal of Bush after the MTP interview last FEBURARY. But, back then, Kerry was announcing TED KENNEDY was going to help, so it wasn't as obvious.

Hubba Hubba.... Who is she, I've never heard of her before. Does Ann Coulter have some competition?

I have to disagree on some points with Rachel. Kerry is going to lose because he is a bad candidate, not because of his message. Sure enough, he has no message, but its been since FDR that America has elected a northeat liberal, and by today's standard's, he would be quite moderate. He had the money and the media influence to get elected in MA and win the democrat primary, but Kerry is finding that he has nothing in common with the rest of America.

Oh yeah. Beatin' the blogs:

News/Activism ^ 09/15/2004 9:50:22 PM EDT ·155 of 346 ^

Pat Cadell is a rare breed, he is an honest leftist.

and absolutely correct in saying Kerry's campaign is the worst run effort in the history of the country (at least in my lifetime).

The post mortum is going to be horrific. There isn't enough Vaporub in the world to stop the stink when they cut into that corpse.

The scary thing is that Kerry, a weak candidate with a muddled message at best, will still get at least 40-45% of the vote!

I also think Bush & co have some problems getting their message out at times, but that's a minor issue. They HAVE a program, it's a GOOD program, and they are miles ahead of Kerry in the ability (and desire) to state their true beliefs.

Face it, the Democrats have a product the public doesn't want - liberalism. They can either stick to their principles and lose, or waffle and hide their agenda and appear insincere and lose that way.

Why does Kerry want to be president? Or, more importantly, what does he want to do? He hasn't been clear. I don't think he knows himself. But if he follows his instincts (and his record), it's far-left governance.

No thanks!!!

" the (Vietnam) issue seems to register lower on the Richter scale than filmmaker Michael Moore doing a set of jumping jacks"

Bad analogy. If Moore could jump it would register high on the Richter scale.

"Signs of trouble include the recent drafting of Clintonites"

IMHO, part of the reason for this may be to give the Clintonistas a cut of the money.

I don't like this talk. The campaign season is only getting started in earnest, and people are discussing the vintage of the victory champagne.

Many a slip from the cup to the lip. Kerry can still win this thing.

I think Kerry will be creamed in the debates. What can he say that doesn't contradict something else he's said. He is unwilling to deal in hypotheticals, even though that is what campaigning is all about. He places a higher value on getting out of Iraq than establishing a stable government -- a strategery guaranteed to cost additional lives, and lose.

Apparently what Kerry does in debates is MAKE THINGS UP on the spot. I think Bush will be ready for him, though.
