board are. He's leaving his options open on Iraq, as well he should. Who knows what the state of Iraq will be in next January? For all Kerry knows, this administration could turn Iraq into one big parking lot by then.

Kerry needs to win big for a couple of reasons...(1) it can't be close enough to steal and (2) he will want a mandate to drive change when he takes office. The greater the majority of voters side with Kerry, the easier it will be to get a Republican Congress (if they maintain mjority) to accede to his agenda. If he gets 60-65% of the vote in November, that will send a message to Republicans that the voters are fed up with the so-called adults who have allowed Bush to wreck the domestic economy as well as trashed our international reputation.
