steve,

re: kerry campaign self destructing....

Here is something I came across:
"Just a personal observation about campaign organization which I think HAS to reflect on general organization(or lack of) as well: went to see Kerry the day after the convention in downtown Scranton. Showed up over two hours past scheduled start time, in the heat. Many people pissed off due to the caste structure of proximity to the stage. Had water trucks but ran out of cups. EVERYONE from Ben Affleck through Teresa through the Edwards' and finally Kerry, blathered on endlessly. Bush comes to Scranton day after convention at the local baseball stadium. Scheduled for 9:30. He and Laura step out of the dugout at exactly 9:30. Beverages and Krispy Kreme donuts for sale. Everyone happy because it is set up so everyone can see either from the seats or on the field." And people wonder why Bush is winning.

More from Sullivan:
WHY ARE WE WAITING? This Rather story has the potential to become huge. We can have a few ideas about what's going on behind closed doors at CBS. Rather is refusing to apologize or quit. Or he's threatening to bring others down with him. Or the sources for the forgeries are political dynamite - whether they're connected to the Kerry or the Bush campaigns - and so decisions have to be made about whether to expose them. It's like a good Washington thriller. And it has the potential to transform the election.

I think it already has.
