I am a long-time lurker. Finally got an account. This thread is way too happening.
"However, the foreign policy debate was the one Kerry was most likely to lose, and he won... domestic policy should be even better"
I hear that too, but dont understand why. Foreign Policy has been a nightmare for Bush (except Afganistan and Libya). Problems in just about every front on international issue - Iraq, Iran/N. Korea, "roadmap", Germany/France/Russia, Kyoto breach etc.
On Domestic issue, he's taken some clear steps that can help his case - tax cut, improving economy/job numbers in select timeframe (since June 03), housing market, Oil!!, etc. Environment will hurt him, but he has pleased the conservatives with anti-gay, anti-abortion stance.
