Dick Morris presents his latast analysis of the campaign.
Mr Morris has been proven wrong in many a past 'analysis'. Still, I find him among the more enjoyable pundits upon the scene today. I look forward to his latest contribution almost as much as I do those of Mark Steyn and a few others. Mr Morris has that certain 'panache', toe-sucking tet-a-tets notwithstanding.
Here's a part of today's offering:
On domestic issues, where Kerry’s voters at least agree with one another, he is undermined by Bush’s increasing economic success, robbing his challenger of his best issue. It is hard to base a campaign on economic disaster when the unemployment rate is near historic lows and rapidly dipping toward 5 percent.
Add to those elements the self-promotion of Kerry’s advisers who cannot keep their mouths shut and insist on grabbing the limelight from their candidate, and you have one of the worst-run campaigns since the time this same team made its national debut: The ill-fated campaign against Bush’s father by another liberal Democrat from Massachusetts, Gov. Mike Dukakis, in 1988.
