Kerry and the media

[Mort from NewYawk]

Hate to break up the bipartisan Edwards fan club, but I think he has a LONG way to go to prove he could beat Bush.

Nobody knows anything about this guy. Sure, he seems friendly, he seems to connect, he knows just what to say to make you believe in him. Well guess what, the guy's a successful big-time trial lawyer, of course he can do all of those things.

How long do you think it would take the media to focus on that aspect of his life, or for the American people to get the feeling that he's maybe a little bit slick, a little bit too sincere, has a nice personal way about him but maybe don't want him dealing with rogue nations with nuclear arms?

[Mort from NewYawk]

Bush 49.6 %
Kerry or Edwards 48.8%
All others 1.6%

Not a dime of difference between the two, at least with regard to the number of votes they can get.

The media will find plenty to unload on either. We've got an inkling of what they can do with Kerry. They'll find plenty in Edwards' trial-lawyer style to examine (after awhile, he can easily be seen as slick and insincere, not Presidential timber).

Dems lose IA and WS, pick up NH and maybe NV.
