If Kerry has been holding back it was a mistake.. Once these people lock in on Dean it will be very difficult to get them to change... He may get those on the fence between the two if he starts spending some bucks up there but doubt he is going to get back voters he lost due to his poor campaigning thus far.

Kerry can bounce back in New Hampshire, sure. He's very strong there. The Dean phenomenon aside, Kerry has 70% approvals in NH and is 70% of Dean-leaners strong 2nd choice. There are also about 33% undecideds and Kerry has yet to unleash the small army of influential leaders who have endorsed him up there. I think they are waiting because they don't want to start a surge too early. They want to surge right before the election. That way they have a pretty good chance of at least tying Dean. A tie in NH or anything close would keep Kerry up in the top three. A lot can hapen between now and January. That is for sure.

For over two decades, the bond between the GOP and the U.S. military has been getting stronger. Since the invasion of Iraq, that may be changing. washingtonmonthly.com <<...The unilateral interventionists still hold the reins of power within the GOP, largely because their champions dominate the West Wing and the Department of Defense. But their purchase on rank and file, Republicans especially among the military and national security voters, is slipping. That slippage will continue unless the Bush administration can secure enough international funds and troops so that the U.S. military presence can be scaled back without compromising the stability of Iraq. If these efforts fail, and if that failure contributes to Bush losing in '04, the unilateral interventionist wing will be disgraced. Power within the GOP will flow to the isolationists and multilateralists, respectively hampering or helping any Democrat who might win the presidency. Six months ago, commentators of all ideological and strategic points of view were debating the merits, and potential form, of an American empire. But now, restive citizens are unhappy about the financial burdens of occupation, and soldiers are complaining to family and friends that they're sitting ducks and want out. The world-straddling, saber-rattling visions of the unilateral interventionists, who a few short months ago had Damascus, Tehran, and Pyongyang in their sights, now seem a little less like an imminent reality, and a little more like a bad dream...>>
