Slim,
"already gone down the toilet in the polls"

CNN/USA Today/Gallop Poll Results March 29,2004
51% Bush
47% Kerry
You might not want to call the election so quickly.
The problem I have with your first "copy and paste" from Matthew Carnicelli is that it is the standard democratic party mission statement. The same one heard over and over. I don't think it is good enough to sway the independents and middle of the road vote.
1. John Kerry is a decorated Vietnam vet.
2. John Kerry is a four-term US Senator.
3. John Kerry is not George W. Bush.
4. George W. Bush stole the election in 2000.
Unless #3 is good enough for you, the other party planks aren't too strong on their own merits.
Yes, I can stop counting. It appears there is nothing else besides these four party planks.
