Kerry won't be like Dukakis. He will win.
Four more years of Bush will not be good for our country. I don't see how you can call yourself a "war president" one day, then all of a sudden say you're going to be a "peace president," (by the way, Bush is as much of a flip-flopper as he calls Kerry...i.e. reason for war, 9/11 Commission suggestions, importance of bin Laden.) It's really quite odd how polarized America has become since the end of 2001. Back then, VERY few people cared about partisan politics at all. How any person can go from the support that they would have had after an atrocity like that to the support now is mind boggling.
The way I look at it is that Bush barely squeaked by last time. How have the last four years gone? Not so good. Will the marginal differences in votes change in one or two key states? Probably.
As far as "dirty" politics, I almost think the Dems are better at it, because their attacks aren't nearly as glaring as the Republicans. It makes them look innocent at times, while the Republicans rarely try to hide their attacks.
