If Kerry wins, his term will be Jimmy Carter-esque. Carter served in the Navy and was soft on military issues. He tried to reason with the Contras, a tactic that failed. The Carter administration lead to a misery index (something Kerry tried to recreate earlier this year, but no one picked it up). Carter's presidency lead to 12 years of Republican administrations.
Kerry is more like Carter than Clinton. Clinton could finesse himself out of situations, Carter couldn't. Clinton was smooth, Kerry is not.
