I don't believe this latest poll that says Bush loses to John Kerry. Kerry's got too many problems - from his bland Senatorial record, connections to Teddy Kennedy and Michael Dukakis, and his patrician 'kept man' background. The poll speaks more to the credibility issues that Bush is facing. This article is fatally biased, but interesting. As Cheney continues his policies of disinformation, delusion, and deception , I'm worried that the Democrats will fail to put the brakes on Bush's planned left (or right?) turn out of Iraq. (There's probably a better case for Syria, but there's a clearer roadmap to democracy in Iran.)

Predictions for the week ... David Kay's interviews this week will be huge politically and Karl Rove will start the attacks; the Plame grand jury will become a bigger story; Pudge and Maddux will both sign by Friday (Tigers and Cubs, respectively.)
