I think it's a problem that people are voting for a candidate based on his electability instead of his candidacy. Everyone i talk to seems ambivalent about Kerry the man but resigned to voting for him because he's the most likely to win. The win margins in modern elections are so tiny (note the 2000 presidential election as the most obvious example) and core voters so devoted to towing the party line that national elections have come down to swing voters. I very much doubt you can bring out a new voter with the current "vote for Kerry he can win!" mantra.
Of course having said that if the choice were bush or a sack of potatoes I'd be pro-spuds all the way.
