I won't be surprised if Kerry gets a huge double digit lead. I will be surprised if he sustains the same. Of course, he has sycophants in the press working overtime for him, as well as the socialists like George Soros, et al.

Kerry will get a 5 point bounce, much less than he "should" get. This will be the first indictation of a Bush landslide.

[1Old Pro]

If he isn't up by double digits after his convention, Bush has it walking away.

I totally agree.

Stock markets worldwide dropped as soon as they saw a radical liberal democrat in the US Senate #4 John Edwards picked by radical liberal democrat in the US Senate #1 John Kerry to run as his Vice Presidential candidate........


Shades of March 2000 when Slick Willie and his AG Janet Reno sued Microsoft and Bill Gates and started the stock market crash and deep recession GW Bush is guiding us out of with tax cuts and his administrations intelligent economic plans.

John Kerry insists he will kill those tax cuts to millions of American families!

Like Clinton? :

32 years later, the Berlin Wall is gone, the Comminist USSR is gone, but John Kerry still cries his radical "Global Socialism" left wing BS and tells us that putting the US and US military under UN control is the only way to go (like in Rowada, Somalia, and Bosnia?)

What would GW Bush say and do?

Lately I've started to go wobbly on that position.

If we did not take out Saddam Hussein, the Islamist-Arab world right about now would have fanned themselves into flames of invincibility by convincing themselves that America is scared and too weak.

Secondly, I always harken back to the saying: If a rattlesnake is poised and ready to strike, you don't wait until its fangs are embedded in your flesh before you act.

Thirdly, and I am tired of hearing people like yourself go wobbly, do you really think that Iraq and AlQaeda had a signed contract verifying their support and each of their specific roles in their quest to attack America??

The Iraqi's were giving tacit support, monetary and training, to the very terrorists who attacked us. Were we supposed to just give them a tongue lashing??

[jwalsh07]

The administration is virtually forced to maintain its stance that Iraq had WMDs and a link to Al Qaeda, even while less and less of the public believes it to be the case.

The truth is always a stance on firm ground. Only lunatics, the truly misguided and party apparatchiks would claim that Iraq did not posess WMD, WMD programs and ties to Al Qa'ida in the march to the Iraq Theatre.

I'm hoping you don't fall into any of those categories NL.

Lemme guess. You wear a bowtie and pay 5 bucks for a cup of coffee.

Very funny.

Let me just clarify a little. When I say "go wobbly" it doesn't mean my vote would ever go to Kerry, it means that my former strongly held view that Bush's status as war leader would carry the election for him is now much more weakly held, or, if you will, more wobbly held.

As I said in an earlier post, there are plenty of good justications for the war, but too many of them, like the al-Qaeda/Hussein connection, cannot be plainly demonstrated in unambiguous, open language, which is a severe problem for a leader who needs to openly rally a vast and diverse electorate around his war aims.

I personally have no doubt that Saddam had a cooperative relationship with Bin Laden, and polls seem to indicate that much of the country is similarly inclined, but it sure would be nice to see a proof for the charge that doesn't require a kind of subtle understanding the secret activities of rogue regimes but can be easily dechiphered by JoeSixPack, i.e., the typical voter.

...Buckley/Will line: knowing what we do now the same decision would not have been made

I noticed Buckley said that, which becomes something else Bush must work to overcome. It provides an excellent debating point for his opponents.

[beckett]

al-Qaeda is seen as stronger than ever; Iraq is seen as another quagmire

I understand you're saying that people you know hold these positions, not that you hold them.

I myself hold neither of them. Al-Qaeda is weaker than ever, IMHO, and will soon be even weaker if Allawi handles Fallujah correctly. I never thought al-Qaeda was very strong to begin with, I admit. I've long looked at the 911 success as something of a fluke, and I take al-Qaeda's inability to mount a follow-on attack in almost three years as proof.

Iraq might sour, but I doubt it would ever reach the proportions of a quagmire, a term too closely associated with Vietnam to ever apply to Iraq, since the military situations in the two countries have literally nothing in common.

Perceptions win elections, not reality. "Missle Gap"

[Eva]

I predict that you're right, a neglible bump is expected by the media, anyway. They are already stating that they will not cover much of the conventions. They would rather refuse to cover the boring Democrat convention than have to cover the Republican convention in the same manner, risking giving Bush more of a bounce later in the election season.

[Citizen of the Savage Nation]

A 15 pt bump does NOT equate to a 55-40 lead. Sheesh.
