I blogged on a piece this morning from the Chicago Sun Times that concludes with a paragraph that sums up the Kerry campaign and Democrats pretty well.
It's only a day or so now till the chad-dangling round of Campaign 2004 begins but, when the lawsuits are over and the bloodletting begins, serious Democrats need to confront the intellectual emptiness of their party, which Kerry's campaign embodies all too well. The Dems got a full tank from FDR, a top-up in the Civil Rights era, and they've been running on fumes for 30 years. Their last star, Bill Clinton, has no legacy because, deft as he was, his Democratic Party had no purpose other than as a vehicle for promoting his own indispensability. When he left, the Democrats became a party running on personality with no personalities to run. Hence, the Kerry candidacy. Despite the best efforts of American editorialists, there's no there there.
TIPP poll online has Bush five points up on Kerry today, in their daily tracker. TIPP, it should be noted, was the third closest to the final result in the 2000 election.
The StrategyPage.com markets consistently show Bush over Kerry 3-2, no matter how you phrase it ("Bush wins," "Kerry loses," "Bush loses to Kerry," etc).
Their overall record shows 85% accuracy on market predictions.
At this point I want a Bush win just so the left's general nastiness these last couple of years isn't rewarded. People like Soros and the creeps at MoveOn should not be encouraged. They've been so damned vicious it's made me sick.
