Your comment is laughable. Boston papers have been very tough on Kerry. The Herald is a conservative paper and blasts him all the time. The Globe has two columnists who hate Kerry. In fact, I haven't seen a pro-Kerry piece in either paper. As for his not being able to win New Hampshire, oh yes he can. His approvals are 70% in the state, dean's 67% and significantly higher than Dean's amongst the large block of undecideds. He is also the #2 choice of most Dean-leaners who could change their minds. Remember, no one has cast a vote yet. Kerry has had lousy press this month while Dean has been called the "frontrunner", but yesterday signalled a new beginning. Whatever the criticisms of Kerry, he seems to have corrected his campaign and is now on track. He is something of a man of destiny. He nows he can win and knows he's the best candidate to beat Bush. It won't be easy to beat Dean, but he can at least make it very close, if not win in a huge upset. As for Iowa, Kerry is in third place. A strong third is all he needs, and to be right on Dean's heels or tied. I expect Kerry was last polled only 5% behind Dean. That too could change quickly. I would say Kerry wowed the crowd yesterday in Iowa. But don't take my word for it, watch it or read about it yourself. Bottomline, no one can predict much of anything yet. The situation is still fluid and at some point there's got to be a backlash against Dean. He'd been getting a largely free ride from the press for four months now. Part of that is due to the fact the GOP is laying off him.
