He's one yawn of a candidate, but I can't imagine the Democrats fielding someone new now with any chance of success.
Kerry has allowed himself to be "defined" (he should **** can his campaign advisors since anyone off the streeet would be more adept), and he seems to have a hard time getting any number of potentially election shifting messages out to the public. We'll have to see what happens in November, but I have no faith in the ability of the Democrats to pull off a victory even with Bush, Cheney and friends helping them out on a daily basis.
