Misunderestimating Kerry
Despite the Press, It's not Over
John Kerry doesn't excite the elephant. But from my perspective, no president in my lifetime has squandered such opportunity as Bush. From Terrorism to government spending, there was so much opportunity wasted.
The press has made much of the Bush Bounce, but some sources (Zogby, Fox, etc.) have noted that statistically the bounce isn't more than a couple of percentage points. Kerrys relative silence could be compared to his initial primary run where he seemed all but dead only to rise to victory. Could Kerry be playing Bush's game of lowering expectations only to emerge in the debates as the Lazarus candidate? Just thinking out loud
