I firmly believe that the average untutored man in the street will be inclined to continue to support the Commander in Chief.

Exit polls showing how many people were willing to vote ABB often negelected to mention that they were polls of the minority of Democrats who actually came out to vote.

Those are the people motivated to take the time, and endure the inconvenience of showing up and voting.

As to the rest? They'll make their decision on the way to the voting booth, just like always. Are they likely to vote for a tax-and-spend liberal insider from Taxachusetts? Sure. No problem. History has shown how the average voter just drools over the opportunity to cast a vote for a Yankee liberal.

History in Bizarro world, actually. All the motorcycles and vets and hockey won't disguise Kerry's voting record or the reasons why he was rated 100% by both the Americans for Democratic Action (ADA) and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP).

And then there's that little question about what happened AFTER he recieved his well deserved medal and commendations. If that famous picture of Kerry with his arm around Jane Fonda during the anti-war years actually exists, you can be sure it'll be floating around the Internet just as soon as Kerry is safely anointed as the nominee. The cover of his book, with the upside down US flag, keeps showing up all over the place. It is the past, but the past is what we build the present upon.
