The idea that a disappeared store of munitions in Iraq could somehow help Kerry in this last week is one of the more remarkable miscalculations of recent political history, but one that inevitably flowed from the left's attachment to Kerry. They really believe Kerry would make a better Commander-in-Chief than George W. Bush. Because they believe in Kerry's vision of an American-French entente and a pervasive "global testing" of American foreign policy initiatives, and in Kyoto and the ICC, , they assume that a majority of Americans can be made to believe it. They seem not to care at all that if the one thing all pollsters agree on is that the president has a commanding lead on the question of who is better equipped to lead the war on terror. In this arrogance is their own demise. They are still lecturing the American people on what they should believe about the war on terrorism.
Kerry&Co. have been trying to run up the middle for 3 quarters and 12 minutes, and they have negative yards rushing. So what do they do? Run up the middle. Among the worst campaigns in American political history.
UPDATE: NBC's Jim Miklaszewski dismantled the New York Times' "expose." Wow. First Jayson Blair. Then Rathergate. Now HMXScam, as the Manhatten elites try and fail miserably to help Kerry recover a momentum he never had to gain a job he could never do. (HT the indispensible KerrySpot.)
