Michael,
It is pretty self evident that the answer to your question is yes.
At 1st, I didn't believe Kerry could win the election because all he spouted was rhetoric. Then they got him some issues to talk about, & with a little help from the media, he's been pushing people's hot buttons at a fast & furious pace. I am a salesman with a very finely tuned B.S. detector & this guy does not impress me. He's a good talker, but you've got to be able to walk the walk & back up what you say.
Sadly, if he wins, many of his supporters will learn too late that they just fell for a good line of B.S.
