.....It seems like Kerry is already leading GW by 10 points. It seems like Kerry is the perfect candidate. But the problem is that once GW starts running his ads, and making more televised performances (i.e. the GOP machine starts moving full-throttle), those point gas are going to shrink. I'm an Edwards supporter, and I even think that he is leading GW: 53-45, is a partly a load of crap right now.
--Many Americans tend to flow with the media. It's in "our" collective nature.
--The media is flooding the airways with the ongoings of Democratic primaries & caucuses-many of which sample only who a portion of Democrats (much smaller than the amt. who will vote in November), only, either think "should" be, or "will" be the Dem nominee.
...Once the media hype becomes more balanced, the polls will shift in favor of GW.
..Once the dust settles from Boston in July, we''l be left with our only hope to take on George Bush.
....GW is already starting the negative campaigning. If Kerry prevails, he will fire back with tons of negative-centered retorts.
...In an already polarized general electorate, this "catching bees with strong, powerful nets", will yield only so many cross-over votes.
..John Edwards, on the other hand, while I'm sure he'll run his share of anti-Bush ads, will probably use his "catching bees with honey" style of politics.
..He will get plenty of financial support from those who are waiting to back the Dem.nominee.
..More people will be politically "seduced" by him. Time and time again, I have heard people from all over this country say, "You know? The more I see him, and the more I hear him..the more I come to really like John Edwards".
..And just as quickly, the 4+ debates will start...and John Edwards will kick some serious --a--s--!!!
And that is when the prospect of what the primaries have been telling us in places like Iowa, Wisconsin, S, Carolina, Missouri & Oklahoma: Many, many undecided voters will flock to Edwards. Far more than to GW..and far more than would have for John Kerry--with his dry, deliberate rhetoric.
Kerry doesn't have the charm that Edwards does. Edwards will lose many millions of votes to Repug's. But John Edwards will get just enough, in the just the right paces, to give our party back the White House. And no matter who wins the White House for Democrats, this empowers all of those progressive Representatives, Senators, and Governors that we all love to root for. It takes away the Republican veto-bottom line!
