John Kerry must be ruing the fact this year's mid-term elections are not a presidential poll.
The rising tide of public discontent with the Republicans has come two years too late for the 2004 Democrat nominee but this has not stopped him barnstorming the country on behalf of his party's congressional candidates.
Looking much better in person than the cadaver that he often comes across as on TV, Senator Kerry said the war in Iraq was an enormous issue in this campaign and that the Bush administration was simply unwilling to acknowledge the mistakes that have been made since the 2003 invasion.
He believes the Republicans are about to pay a heavy political price for the mishandling of the whole Iraq adventure.
Still victory in just one chamber and the power base it would give the relevance starved Democrats, threatens to turn Mr Bush into a lame duck President for his final two years in office.
It is almost enough to bring a grin to Senator Kerry's notoriously wooden face.

John Kerry paying heavy price for being a jerk!
ROTFLMAO
He is a lame duck, has been since the second inauguration.
Only on those rare occasions when his vote is needed to counter that of some RINO who goes off the reservation and votes with their own party for a change.
