Besides which, he's a liar and anti-American
"Let me say that again: Among
voters who picked the candidate they wanted based on the
issues, not the candidate they thought somebody else wanted,
Kerry did not win the New Hampshire primary."

The myth and math
of Kerry's electability.
By William Saletan
 <snip>
"All of which raises the $200 million question: Are these
"can defeat Bush" voters correct? Is Kerry the most electable Democrat?
"It's a hard question to answer, because most of the evidence is
circular. If people support Kerry because they think he's electable, he
goes up in the polls, which makes him look more electable. The best way
to filter out this distortion is to focus on the voters least likely to
make their decisions in November based on electability. These happen to
be the same voters who hold the balance of power in most elections:
independents, conservative Democrats, and moderate Republicans. They
aren't principally trying to figure out which Democratic candidate can
beat Bush, because they don't necessarily want the Democratic
nominee to beat Bush. They're trying to decide which Democratic
candidate, if any, would be a better president than Bush."

BINGO
Yep that sums it all up nice and neat. Now I don't know about the rest of you, but I'm really tired of all the election coverage. It all means nothing as far as I'm concerned. For those that don't get it yet let me sum it up. Kerry has the nomination. Edwards only hope now is for second banana. Dean doesn't dance with Clinton so he was doomed from the start. The rest are kelter and always were.
Kerry is a soft and easy target, wich Roger points out several times a day. CNN, ABC, NBC, CBS, PBS, and NPR will cover his ass all the way to election day but it wont change the outcome.
