Kerry's Finished

The botched joke did him in. I absolutely believe Kerry botched a joke about Bush. There is no way he was insulting the troops or anything like that. Of course that doesn't matter. Just as he couldn't get out in front of the swift boaters during the campaign he never stood a chance on this one.

The problem is he cannot deliver the lines. He doesn't have it in him. He is no match for Edwards, Obama, or Hillary. Coupled with the fact that the media ran with the "Kerry insulted the troops" angle that makes him unelectable.

The sad truth is once again the election will be won by the campaign with the best ten second sound bites. The American public as a whole simply doesn't have the attention span for anything more complicated.
