Kerry might be the best pick for the GOP after Dizzy Dean. Kerry tried to be on both sides of the Iraq War and wants to be a Vietnam War hero even though he pretended to throw his medals away and opposed that war. His speaking style is so boring and convoluted it's hard to tell what he's saying. Bottom line is another Massachsetts liberal is going to be a no-sale in most of the country.

If his poll numbers in the northeast go further south, he could end up being the first presidential candidate to win no states in the Electoral College. Even Fritz Mondale was able (just barely) to win his home state of Minnesota in 1984, and McGovern carried Massechussetts in 1972. What's really needed is Republican pickups in the House, but especially the Senate to go along with an historic Electoral College route.
