A great deal of the Kerry-Edwards message ("two Americas", desire to repeal the tax cut to fund new programs, claim that Bush has poorly prosecuted of the war in Iraq) is structured in a way which benefits from bad news. All of the indications that I'm seeing recently, though, suggest an improving trend in economic and Iraq news between now and November, which is likely to be bad for Kerry.
That sounds right. I think the worst sign for Kerry is that even people who hate Bush are not enthusiastic about Kerry. When "Johnkerryisadouchebagbutimvotingforhimanyway.com" sums up your campaign, things are not looking good. I think he needs to do better than "!Bush" to win.
Things are trending better, which is likely to help Bush
