Walking the wire, and why mobilizing a voter base is a tight-wire rarely run by the wisest of people

Once again Americans are faced with a terribly interesting duo of candidates to the big chair. John Kerry is rapidly taking fire for not being democratic enough. Any democrats who feel they have the wrong guy running ought to take a long hard look at themselves and the beat bush frenzy that substatially boosted Kerry above Dean after Dean's not so important speech. While I still intend to vote for Bush, Im still less than thrilled about the upcoming election because it promises to have all the crap of 2000 and then some. If Kerry is to weather this storm, he's going to need to distance himself from Bush, because he stands to lose a substantial amount of his voter base to a third party candidate.
