I think Bush will carry the entire South. Indeed, I don't think he will lose a single Southern state. Kerry's anti-American past is likely to get so hammered it will completely offset his service in Vietnam. The idea being you can't honorably serve your country and then FLIPFLOP and support the enemy. His longstanding support for Homosexual marriage will be a terrible noose around his neck. I suspect the GOP is going to stick him very hard to his home state. Even his alleged disagreement with his own home is going to be used to harm him. The GOP will probably fork this issue, showing how ardently Kerry has attacked the family (along with the rest of his Massachusetts comrades) and how dishonorable he is to flipflop on such a weighty issue only in a Presidential cycle. The exact same theme should emerge on his Iraq vote, and this will offset everything Kerry throws at Bush on this issue. We should be seeing a lot of Dean and the other Democrats when the heat gets turned up. Bush has more than enough to squash Kerry, if the economy remains about where it is currently. He even has some wiggle room on the economy because for many Americans, it is too abstract an issue- unlike fighting terrorism and retaining the status quo on the nature of home and hearth. Poll numbers are average for Bush only because Bush has not yet done anything against the entire Democrat machinery that has hammered him now for nearly a year. I suspect we are going to start seeing some real fighting now. It would not surprise me to discover that even this new dirt from Drudge is part of the fight for the Presidency. After all, why now? Should be a fun fight.
