Ah, but Kerry is a liar, you see. His record shows him supporting ALL of these abominable items-- and vigorously. He merely now employs lies to attempt mitigating his typical leftist characteristics.

John Kerry of Massachusetts is obviously a liberal. John Edwards, a southerner running against the northeastern liberal, must not be a liberal, right? Actually, wrong. If anything, John Edwards is to the left of Kerry on economic issues. John Kerry, for example, is trying to pretend he's against free trade to get through the primaries, while Edwards really seems to mean it. But it's an easy mistake for suburban, crossover, and late-deciding voters to make. And, interestingly, those are voters who were surprisingly strong for Edwards last night.

And while the mainstream media are sweeping the Kerry "bimbo eruption" story towards the nearest rug as swiftly as they can, I wonder if the near-miss had some impact on Kerry's strongest selling point, his electability. Wisconsin Democrats may have collectively cast a vote to slow down the nomination process and let Matt Drudge have another shot at their guy before the party makes its final choice.

But with a major, multiple-state contest coming up on Super Tuesday and Edwards low on both cash and organization, it's hard to see any scenario other than a Kerry collapse that brings Edwards the nomination. He can count on his strongest allies, however: a press corps desperate to keep the primary story alive.
