I think some of you are missing the obvious point.

Kerry HAS no policy. He has said so many contradictory things that if he states a policy someone will be able to pull a quote where he says just the opposite. The whole primary was about hating Bush but you can only campaign on hate for so long.

Thats why they came out with the 'Hope is on the way!' idea, the problem is the only people really miserable are democrats who hate Bush.

Kerry won out over Dean not because he has anything to say but because he was a 'War Hero (tm)' and seemed more electable. What people didn't realize is what they were really getting is a man who stands for nothing.

The Republicans have a very easy job, they have 30 years of Kerry in the public eye to focus on, and Kerry did a lot of stupid things over those 30 years. So even if Kerry can deflect that sort of criticism, which I don't think he can, the Republicans only just started, he still has nothing positive to say about himself or his vision of America.

Unless Kerry can put down his snow board, put his medals back on the wall, and pull some sort of verbal coupe in the debates its basically over for him.
