This isn't about Kerry, and it never was. It's about hatred of Bush, and throwing him out of office. The Democratic candidate could be a stuffed orangutan, and it would still get the same votes from the leftists, many of whom apparently left their marbles in Florida four years ago.

While Bush has lost some popularity, Kerry's has not gone up. He will get a big bump from the convention, unless he somehow screws the pooch during it, but Bush has got a convention coming up, too.

This is from a site advertising buttons for Democrats. Pretty much tells the whole story.

"John Kerry will do." How inspiring.
