We know Fournier is a Demo suckup. There's a reason this story is presented this way. They have to undersell Kerry prior to the convention so they can make the convention appear to be a big triumph when the "bounce" numbers come in afterwards.

Just watch. After the convention, you'll see another story about how Kerry has all the momentum and enough electoral votes to win the presidency, yada yada yada.

The lib media is so predictable now I can almost write their stories for them.

I was about to write the same thing (but luckily read the posts first - something unusual for me). This is the absolute truth... the media wants to show a big bounce coming out of the Dem Convention - so they have to downplay Kerry's position going into the convention.
