If Kerry wins in November, we'll remember this week as the week he won. [View All]

I really think so.

It's like chess, where the most important factor in the game isn't the pieces or the game position but which player has "advantage" (or whatever the word is; I'm not really much of a chess player but I love the concept as explained to me).

At a certain point in the game, one player is making moves and the other player must respond to them. The second player can't evolve his or her own strategy because he or she must "use up" each move reacting to what the opponent just did.

A few words into a clip-on microphone and John Kerry (who was already well ahead in the polls) accomplished this. Everything Bush is doing is a RESPONSE, now.

Not even Bobby Fischer could win a game where the opponent held onto the "advantage." (Or whatever the right word is.) Wresting it away from the grand master is the hard part. Kerry just did that. Let's hope he doesn't ever give it back.
