I'll have to disagree here. Kerry's doing fine; it looks like he's 
letting Bush walk the plank on his own volition. If he starts a 
full-blown campaign now, the issues he would raise now wouldn't have the 
same impact; there would be too much time for Karl "Frogmarch" Rove to 
deflect them. Sitting and waiting right now seems prudent. Three 
presidental polls have just been released, and all show Kerry winning - 
and that's with counting Nader in. I'm content.

On a related note, it looks like Michael Moore put out the campaign 
informercial that I thought was a slamdunk. In his new film, Fahrenheit 
9/11, he shows a full 10 minutes of George Bush sitting in with a bunch 
of kids reading a children's book. These 10 minutes (out of a total just 
shy of a half hour that he sat doing nothing) were immediately after the 
second plane hit the WTC.
