STORM2K

joe klein, time magazine:

"The stodginess is compounded by the Senator's public performances. In an effort to seem positive, he has removed the "Bring It On" red meat from his stump speech and replaced it with Spam. It is not uncommon to see audiences leaving his fund-raising events in droves while he is still speaking. Often he'll talk about the need for a new style of campaigning, a "conversation" with the American people, and then he'll proceed to relaunder a list of Democratic nostrums ("Health care is a right, not a privilege") that were clichés when Dukakis slogged the trail. There is nothing conversational, or comforting, about his candidacy."

its not good when fellow liberals are walking out on kerry's speeches.

Actually it is a good thing. LOL!!

I 2nd that!

Kerry is really a very inadequate candidate in many ways. The fact that he is running a generally competitive race highlights the degree that Bush is viewed as incompetent by a large chunk of voters. Sure, Bush has resolve and conviction on many issues, but he doesn't seem like he knows what he is doing much of the time, and it is quite transparent.

i think you are wrong there. bush has a rather large lead right now. you have to ask why the dems decided on kerry. at least howard dean had an enthusiastic following among the far left wing

4-5% for an incumbent President at this stage is rather unimpressive. I am pretty sure he had a similar lead over Gore 1-2 weeks before the election. We'll see if Kerry is a closer. I suspect he is.

Also, I'd love to hear from some on the right, exactly which Gore states Bush will win in 2004?? anyone??

New York and Hawaii, if not others.

kerry is imploding as we speak. thank you dems for nominating him

John Kerry has more positions thatn Heidi Fleiss, and about the same sense of "commitment".

Cute? I wasn't trying to be cute.

There weren't THAT many Gore states to begin with. Those two, I'm certain, Bush will carry.

Your just a shill for the conservative media. Also, your fickleness makes Kerry look like a statue. So, Ms Helen Boortz, Which Gore states will Bush win in 2004? Thanks.

Duck. You are a very good and bright poster, but that has to be one of the worst prognostications of all time.

Bush is going to carry a state over a Northeast liberal, that Gore won by 25%? COME ON.

Zwyts...I also said UK would take the NCAA championship this year, but I was wrong.

We'll see what happens in November.

By the way, thanks!

Thanks for the prediction. I will memorialize this post for comparison on Nov 5th. Based on the success of your predictions about other world events, particularly the Iraq conflict, I suddenly have a renewed feeling of optimism about the Kerry Campaign.

I have to disagree with Pennsylvania. And I think Kentucky will go to Kerry also.
