Watching the news one gets the impression that Kerry is a fool whom doesn’t know what’s good for him. If he did, he would lie low and his base would turn out in force Come November, as they hate Bush with a passion. As it is, all he is doing is helping Bush, (the amnesty loving, big spender) to introduce Kerry to his base so we can see that it could be worse. all he can achieve now is to scare heretofore disgruntled conservatives to the poles. Almost no one will vote for someone this election as the choice is betwixt bad and worse, we will all vote against the other schlub.
