I haven't blogged here since early July and it seems like an eternity. I have been watching this presidential race and frankly, I am enjoying every bit of it.
The president got his convention bounce alright. He has an 11 point lead over Senator Kerry. Senator Kerry on the other hand did not get any bounce from his convention. As if that was not bad enough, his numbers have dropped considerably in the last month. His sagging numbers have been attributed to the swift boat ads. I beg to disagree. I think Kerry's sagging numbers have little to do with the swift vets and a lot to do with Kerry himself.
Besides the fact that we know that Senator Kerry served in Vietnam and at one time supported the war in Iraq, but is now against the war, most voters out there do not know anything else about senator kerry. In the weeks leading to the Democratic conventions, Kerry's supporters said the reason the polls show a dead heat is because voters still do not know anything about Kerry. He was supposed to introduce himself to voters at the convention. I watched the Democratic conventions and frankly, did not see a different Kerry.
The whole convention was based on his Vietnam service and how the President lied to take the country to war since we could find the WMDs. Then later, Kerry tells us that knowing what he knows now, he still would have gone to war against Iraq.
Anyone who watched Kerry's acceptance speech did not see any plan for the future of the country. Once again, we were reminded that Kerry was fit to be commander in cheif because he served in Vietnam.
In my view, nobody is to blame for where Senator Kerry(did you know he served in vietnam?) is right now but Kerry himself.
