The Kerry Cavalry Charge Continues

Well, it looks like the Kerry campaign is gaining momentum with wins in Virginia and Tennessee, along with another in Maine over the weekend.

To steal a phrase from Kerry: bring it on.

Kerry is not the best candidate to go up against Bush. He is the epitome of everything that so many people dislike: he is the quintessential Washington insider, he is about as far left-wing as anyone in Congress, he has a record of flip-flops and backtracks in his voting record. John Kerry will the easiest candidate for the Republicans to turn into the next Michael Dukakis.

The worst part of this is that in this election year, Bush is vulnerable. He is an excellent wartime President. He handled the post 9/11 events very well. But he has also blundered badly. His immigration amnesty plan is offensive enough to make me have seriously considered voting for someone other than Bush. I probably would have ended up voting for Bush in the end, but still, I believe that Bush is vulnerable.

And the Democrats, rather than nominating an electable candidate like Joe Liberman, are instead going to send up John Kerry to be the sacrifice to pave the way for Hillary in '08.

The Kerry campaign looks to be gaining an almost unstoppable momentum. Tonight almost ceratinly knocked out Clark knocked Clark out of the race. Edwards is on the ropes. Dean is going the way of Kucinich and Sharpton.

But the Kerry campaign has also not met any real resistance from the Bush camp or the RNC. Once the Republicans begin their offensive, I believe that the gap between Kerry and Bush will begin to widen again.

Kerry is making a big mistake by thinking that his primary victories are an indication of a general feeling in America. He is polling well among the Democratic faithful, but how will he fare in a general election is still yet to be seen.
