Bush Takes Manhattan From the September 13, 2004 issue: The president leaves his New York convention in command of the race. by Fred Barnes 09/13/2004, Volume 010, Issue 01 Increase Font Size Printer-Friendly Email a Friend Respond to this article THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE consists of two campaigns. One concerns who would be the better commander in chief in the war on terrorism. President Bush, bolstered by speech after speech at the Republican convention (including his own), is handily winning that race. The other, the campaign John Kerry prefers, is about jobs and health care and education. With the stronger job numbers for August released the day after the convention, Bush is holding his own in that campaign too. So there's no escaping the fact: The race really is Bush's to win, perhaps comfortably. Kerry won't have an easy time making up ground he lost since the Democratic convention in late July. It's clear now his theory of the campaign was wrong. A majority of Americans haven't basically decided against giving Bush a second term. Thus it's not enough for Kerry to demonstrate simply that he's competent to be president. The bar isn't that low. Kerry will have to be far more appealing than he's ever been to scoot past Bush. Or the president will have to screw up badly. Both are possible, especially the latter. URL:http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/004/577vwibc.asp
