I believe that Kerry killed Bush as did Gore.
Kerry is much smarter than Bush which is obvious.
But, I think that the media is spinning this into a Kerry win because they want the horse race, they want the excitement, they want the ratings.
Media manipulates all.
However, this is one thing I don't understand why Kerry didn't do:
When asked which bad judgements Bush made why didn't Kerry go after Bush's refusal to at first create the homeland security dept, 9/11 commission, let x y z testify, himself testify, implement 9/11 commission recommendations.
Those are some tangable lack of judgements.
