Meanwhile, Hugh Hewitt is slashing and burning the Kerry campaign quite effectively:

In Time, Kerry actually made me laugh:

"'When we get into those cold days of October and people's juices begin to flow and they measure us one to one, who's going to be stronger for America, I'm confident that my record of fighting for this country since I was a young man is going to eclipse the choices that have been disastrous that have been made by George Bush,' Kerry said."

Cue Lovitz. Yeah, that's the ticket. It will all be different in October, when "people's juices begin to flow." Has Mickey raised the white flag yet?

Calling a reporter on a Sunday while not appearing on the Sunday shows is an admission of both panic and certainty that the candidate couldn't have managed other than a controlled interview, and certainly not a television interview that would provide tape of a bumbler/stumbler still clutching his magic hat fantasy. What if Russert had rolled tape from StolenHonor? What is Chris Wallace had asked about the gun-running to Cambodia? The handlers can't risk letting Kerry out of the box he built for himself, so Campaign 2004 Deathwatch continues. How bad is it for the Dems? One report has a decision being taken to "unleash" Al Gore, which is like sending Jayson Blair to the aid of Dan Rather. Who's next? A reunion tour of Clark and Moore, with Howard Dean as an opening act?

Eventually the Dems will hit their lowest possible point in the polls, where news and flubs and flip-flops and isolation don't matter anymore because they have hit the floor and can't fall off the bedrock support of the couldn't-care-lessers and the never-look-ups. And then Kerry will tick up a couple of points and they will declare momentum. Watch for it. But don't be fooled by it. A candidate in the media bunker in mid-September is a candidate on his back.
