I'm not ready to write off the Kerry Campaign (my God, it's APRIL!), but by any reasonable measure, his campaign is doing poorly. Not only has he been unable to capitalize on a lot of negative press for President Bush, but his numbers seemed to drop right when we returned from vacation and got on TV again. I guess absence makes the heart grow fonder. Anyway, here's a lengthier treatment of the Buyer's Remorse concern, discussing frustration and hand-wringing from Richard Cohen and the Village Voice.
And here's a spot-on comment from a DU regular:
He can't connect with the public, he's unappealing on TV, but we'll nominate him anyway! Did we mention he's a war hero? They always win!
It's Bob Dole II. I am thoroughly discouraged so far.
