I had hoped that more people would be turned away from Kerry due to his own anti-American activities, due to OBL in effect supporting him that week, and because his last attempt at Bush over the weapons dump was proven so patently false.
What happened was that the GOP energized its base to a much, much greater degree than the DNC...and they energized their own base as well.
In short...my predictions were, sadly, too optimistic.
Now, we have got to keep pluggin' and getting ready for 2006 and 2008.
