Kerry was the early front-runner for the Democratic nomination, but his campaign idled for much of the summer as former Vermont governor Howard Dean galvanized liberal Democrats with his opposition to the war in Iraq. More recently, retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark entered the race with momentum, grabbing media attention and standing in the polls. At critical moments, Kerry has seemed hesitant, cautious, even programmed. He has struggled to articulate why he is the centrist alternative to the surging Dean, and why, as an avowed anti-war candidate, he voted last year for a Senate resolution that paved the way for President Bush's plans to invade Iraq. All of which has left Kerry -- the man whom fellow Bostonian and former Democratic nominee Michael S. Dukakis calls "the [candidate] the White House fears most" -- dogged by a question: Will his campaign ever catch fire?
