Was anyone else dissappointed with Bush's speech? I don't think the man is facing political reality. He is still counting on the wartime patriotism to boost his candidacy but they don't seem to see that his support is eroding steadily. He clearly hasn't managed his whole presidency well. One key fact is that, for the first time in a long time, the Republicans could lose the Veteran and military vote. If John Kerry wins the nomination, he will command the Veteran vote and could very well be more attractive to military families.

The one great thing about Kerry is that there'll be no training on the job. The next four years need someone who is solid and has credibilty domestically and abroad: Bush is not it and Dean certainly is not it.
