Something you must realize about Kerry. He has two jobs to do now. #1 he must win the nomination, which means winning NH and tying or winning in Iowa. On the campaign trail talking to Democrats he's very-very tough on Bush, just as tough as Dean.

But when he's on national TV, he has to be the statesman, more of a centrist, wooing middle-of-the-road voters who might like GW but are looking for a change in 2004. However, he has been very tough on Bush nationally as well. Remember "regime change in DC"? That was a brave move cricized at first but now shows backbone and foresight. He is leading the fight against Bush, but just has to not come on like too much of a firebrand. However, he does have a lot of fire in his belly. Dont worry.

Bottomline, if Dean doesn't win NH he might be finished. But Kerry will end being endorsed by the Democratic mainstream, including Lieberman, Edwards, Gephardt, Gore and the Clintons. All the super delegates should go to Kerry which is 35% of the total needed. Dean is generally perceived as not the man to beat Bush so he'll have a very-very tough time even getting close to the nomination, esopecially if Kery maintains his lead in NH.

Looking forward to a smearing campaign. The Bush team is expert at it. Look for lots more of the fear and terror themes, new creative (i.e. white lies) negative perceptions, and new mass propaganda. Let's see how the Democrats respond. How will Americans respond and choose their destiny?

If the economy doesn't respond as expected by January, how and to what extent will the accuracy of the government released economic numbers and other economic statistics get tweaked around?
