bush is winning big time. if i were scroing it, it woulod be bush 10, kerry 6. a big differential. (oh no, lurch just started his 'nam speech--what a maroon).
Kerry's a dirty player. He purposefully waited until Bush was halfway across the stage to make his opening appearance. This gave his handlers the ability to cue the audience supporters to distinguish his entrance with cheers. It was pretty low down but effective. It threw off the President.
Also Kerry's great at 20/20 hindsight. And making sound like he would have seen the myriad of unexpected challenges with greater success. He's the high school smart ass. He's the brown noser at work. He's the guy you love to hate.
