Blumenthal
Check out Sidney Blumenthal's piece in the Guardian today.
"On every issue of domestic concern, Kerry defeats Bush. Only on foreign policy does Bush hold sway, so he must heighten and reinforce that difference. Kerry must be weak, Bush must be strong. Thus a new Bush ad: jets take off from an aircraft carrier, a female soldier hugs her family, and the voiceover: "Kerry ... wrong on defence." The ad claims that Kerry voted against an $87bn post-Iraq war appropriation, failing to note, of course, that he had proposed linking it to rescinding Bush's tax cut for the wealthy. "
I think we don't need to call Kerry the "presumptive nominee" any longer, unless Sharpton and Kucinich put their voters together. Oh wait, that's still only 2%.
