Re Norm's post--sure, Kerry's a monster. But he's gonna win. Let's face it, the country has become ineradicably in the thrall of egalitarianism, political correctness, and redistrubution of wealth. The hounds have been loosed; there is not even any pretense any more that redistribution of wealth and socialism is bad, that economic reality matters.
Do a thought experiment. Picture Carter (vs. Reagan). Picture the prissy, lispy, sneering, stiff, scary Gore. Remember the goofy, wobble-headed, effete, above-it-all Dukakis.
Now picture Kerry. He is not like the others. He is not goofy. He has experience and gravitas. And who is he up against?--that doofus Bush.
Mark my words. Kerry will win. Big. Face it. Get ready for tax increases, cave-ins to immigration, an administration riddled with token but incompetent minorities preening with their newfound power and position. Get ready for a new generation of liberal judges.
I'm not happy about it. I'm almost embarassed to say I would prefer Bush to win. But Bush would be better on taxes, and much better on federal judge appointments. Other than this, Kerry should not be much worse than Bush.
