John Kerry: the Catsup of candidatesPoor John Kerry. All his life he had prepared himself for a run at the presidency, and now that he's running, he's getting beaten by some no-name from a neighboring state, and now another candidate is entering the race with a better resume--Kerry's resume, but much better. He's getting out-liberaled by Howard Dean, and volunteering for service in Vietnam isn't so impressive next to Clark's gig as grand commander. Will Kerry save himself the embarrassment of being the third wheel and quit? Not quite. Kerry is now considering using his wife's money for the campaign, something he had said he would not do. (Link via Eric Lindholm) When you have to use your wife's money, isn't it a sign that your campaign is done? And in the "too little, too late" category, the same USA Today/CNN poll that shows Kerry trailing Clark by 11 points shows him as the only candidate beating Bush in a potential matchup. |
