The cynicism is in the liberal spin - JFKerry finally becoming, morphing into, the actual JFK. It doesn't take a village to say that. It takes an idiot. And that's who populate these talking head panels. They don't talk about Swift Vets, except disparagingly. They don't talk about anything Bush has done right, or that Kerry has done wrong. VVAW was a GOOD thing, to hear them talk. And Kerry gets to DEFINE his record, himself, week by week. Journalism? What's a journalism?
So fret not. There are real people, outside of tv people, who really will vote.
If you ultimately question cynicism, or rather indifference, remember that Republicans DO NOT see the Fed as the answer to all of life's problems. If they don't have a gubment program for everything, it's because they don't believe there should be, as a principal, in keeping with the vision of our founders.
