<<There are a lot of people who don't like Kerry because he is too liberal (among other things). I'll probably vote for Bush, but I really don't care about Bush's political survival. What I'm more worried about is the Republican party, and Rasmussen's tracking poll consistently shows us being beat by the Democrats by 43 to 38%:>>>
I had to look this up but there seems to be 48 Democrats, 1 independant, and 51 Republicans in the Senate.
Although jobs are coming back, they do not have the prestige, pay, accumulated benefits they once enjoyed. So I would guess the working class Democrats are not too happy, especially since unions are having to fight for benefits today.
And Republicans will need to fight to keep the Senate.
IMO the Presidents job is too complicated for a mere Senator.
He should have had the experience of running a major State, dealing with billions, with all kinds of organizations including the greenies, and crooked corporations like the energy and utility people in California.
Without that kind of experience, Kerry will have to count on others to supply the useful ideas and will have to chose his cabinet with great skill and be great leader.
So far, he seems to have a heck of a problem even in picking a running mate and his leadership ability is questionable.
