That would be accurate if they were voting for John Kerry to begin with. However, they are not voting FOR John Kerry, they are voting AGAINST George Bush. Kerry's stance on Iraq is not going to matter to the anti-war types. They are already in the Kerry camp.
Morris is very smart and totally unscrupulous. Whenever he speaks his first priority is--himself. He wants to get back into the center of power, which is very difficult since he has betrayed both parties. So he says whatever he thinks will do him the most good at any particular time.
At the moment he is speaking favorably about Bush. I think that says, at the least, that he expects Bush to win. There's no point buttering up kerry if he loses and has no jobs to give out.
If Kerry alienates a portion of his base, where are they going?
They are stuck regardless just as I, an ultra conservative, am stuck with Bush even though I don't like his more liberal choices.
Bull... anyone that is still confused today will be still confused on election day.. with these folks the vote could swing on whos dressed better in the debates. The ditz vote will be decided on the ride to the polls.. on the last political sign that voter sees.
As I've often said here, the best thing that this candidate can do is keep his mouth shut.
Morris is too close to the trees and has lost sight of the forest, I think. He overlooks the most important constituency that Kerry has -- the Bush-haters.
