The Presidential Race Is Over
Already the articles are coming out describing the panic Democrates are experiencing over how John Kerry can fix his campaign to make up the ten point lead President Bush now has in public opinion polls in the race for President. I don't think there is much Kerry can do. What a mistake it was for the Democrates to focus their convention on the four months Kerry spent in Vietnam. That opened the door for the people who have been criticizing his actions in that war and the statements he made upon his return to go on the attack. It did not help that Kerry and Edwards failed to paint a coherent picture of how things in the U.S. would be better under their administration.
I heard many people say that President Bush should go to New York and explain why we went to Iraq. I thought that this subject had already been covered to the point of exhaustion. Boy, was I mistaken. The Republican convention used the Iraq war to define for America what leadership meant, why a post 9/11 world called for the need of a strong leader and why President Bush was the only one who could play this part.
