If Dukakis had run a better campaign

The public embraced the Willie Horton issue which was mostly propaganda. The republican party has had some great successes in the propaganda area. One of their greatest successes is that the label "liberal" is something to be looked down upon. That is a myth. Another is that the press is liberal. The media slants over 65% of all issues in favor of the conservative point of view and yet more than half of all Americans think the media is liberal. imo

If a democrat had been president for the past 4 years and done exactly the same things which Junior has done the media would be so down on him he wouldn't have 20% popularity right now.

Kerry has a 6-9% lad over Bush already. Yes it will be close, but in terms of electoral votes and state conts, I believe Kerry will take 3-8 red states away from Bush. So it may be close but Kery is going to win. Bush has cost 3-8 of his red states 75,000 or more jobs apiece. Jobs permanently gone. No way he can wave the flag againsta war hero and win those states back. Plus Kerry will take at least 50% of the veterans vote. If he picked Clark as his VP he might get 75% of the veteran vote. That's about 3 million extra voters from what Gore got. And blacks and women are pissed at Bush now. Hispanics aren't happy either. Kerry can carry 85% of Hispanics if he picks Richardson. So maybe he picks both. Clark can be SOS or SOD. Then make Edwards Attorney General. Run with 4-5 other top guys as a huge ticket. All Buish has to help him is the very corrupt, secretive and discredited Cheney.
