Susan Estrich: partisan to the bitter end. But we would be foolish to ignore what she is saying here.

Does Kerry even have a strategy? Didn't think so.

Only a liberal could think like this. So, Kerry will continue to appeal to diehard liberals except the few who will prefer voting for Nader.

But where's the beef? Yes, kerry keeps saying the same thing, and then saying, "As I said yesterday?" But what was it that he said yesterday, other than "I hate Bush and everything he does"?

Nothing.

Well it's one thing to say that Bush has been "wrong", it is quite another to define what is "right". I still have not heard from Kerry what should be done that Bush is not doing - I don't expect I will hear this.

All Kerry apologists should be asked a simple question:

In ONE SENTENCE, please explain John Kerry's position on Iraq.

Yeah, blah blah, Kerry has a couple of "good" days, and suddenly the liberals are as hopefully as the people on the Titanic who thought things might be improving after the bow snapped off and the stern section briefly levelled.

Hey, Susan, it's Kerry's race to lose, John Zogby told us so, why does Kerry need to worry at all?

Yeah, Kerry is really telling it like it is now. Never mind that it's different than what he said last week...or the week before...or the week before that...or last year...

When will these libs learn that consistency matters? Kerry sounding like Howard Dean isn't going to impress anybody.

Dear Susan:

Be sure on your way home tonight to have a forth highball instead of your usual three. Maybe if you're lucky you'll get one of your college male students to buy you one and in return you can slobber your nonsense into his ear as he throws your sorry *ss into a cab. Obviously, you write this crap when you're buzzed.

After November 2nd, I predict that you and Bill Maher types in this country will be ancient history.

A college professor? What course do you teach?

I can just imagine Ted Kennedy, half-drunk screaming, "John Kerry the comeback kid, part deux"

Does the country want an anti-war leader? In the war on terror?

I didn't think so.

Which is more evidence, if more were needed, of the other truth, which is that it's always "the candidate, stupid" - particularly when you're talking about John Kerry.

She's right but in Kerry's case it's about "the stupid candidate". I think we haven't seen the last of the flip-flops yet.

the whole "Kerry is a closer" mantra is absurd. he has only run in massachusetts, so these people don't KNOW how he will play nationally in the closing weeks of the campaign, when he is exhausted, stressed out, and angry.

I've got an idea that "kerry is an exploder" will be closer to the truth.

Susan Estrich is a delusional woman. Forget anything she is saying.

I have talked to many people and the message Kerry has settled on is one that will work well for them. He is going to make this about Iraq and I believe that he will scare people into voting for him. Yes. I am worried. It will all really hing on the debates.

Oh, so FINALLY, Kerry's vaunted "close" commences.

This is when he stops flip flopping and starts repeating the same speech.

Only in the deluded mind of Estrich and her ilk will this be effective.

If you repeat a lie enough...and all that.....GG

I predict a lot of commas and parenthetical comments.

Kerry's close.... to getting a new coat and a free ride in a rubber truck to the Happy Meadows Sanitarium.

Even Ronald Reagan stumbled in the debates in his reelection campaign; no sitting president has handled them without stumbling except x42.

But there will be three debates, so Bush will have ample opportunity to recover from whatever stumble he may encounter in the first one. In the long run - and probably even in the short run - Kerry's arrogance and Bush's sincerity will come across.

Kerry lost credibility with the majority of voters, it is too late to change this. He is known as a flip floper with the "majority" of voters. He cannot recover from this. The majority of voters will not trust him and they do not consider him a strong leader. We are at war, the majority of voters will vote for a strong and decisive leader and this man is President Bush.

Oddly enough, they already have it down to one sentence: "We'd do it better." They just never explain HOW, in any (even remotely) concrete way.
