This is a big political blunder among all the many the Democrats have created. Announcing his VP 3 weeks before the convention, Kerry may not even get that big bounce the media is hoping he'll get coming out of convention week.
I honestly think Dim internal polling was suggesting that Bush had weathered the storms of this spring that the media had created full-bore against him and that he might sink too far if he waited. Anyone have info to support this hypothesis out there (I know folks who know are here reading this)
