Who needs Blair when you have Kim Jong Il, Hamas, and (allegedly) Al Qaeda supporting you?
I am a bit worried about the whole alliances thing though with Kerry. Kerry seems to want to disenfranchise our current ones, for France and Germany, as if suddenly they'll come in and everything will be alright. Dick Morris (ex-Clinton advisor) said it absolutely rightly. With the WOT you need Pakistan. Pakistan is worth a thousand Frances, with actually fighting the terror where it is. Pakistan has played a crucial role in arresting/killer virtually all the big names in the WOT so far. Bush did well to get them on our side, but I don't think Kerry is going to keep that going?

I think it is the other way around. The democrats had it in the palm of their hands like 9 months ago, but unbelievably managed to screw it up. The nominations fighting, Kerry's flip-flopping, Kerry's past, and the fact that Kerry just hasn't made it clear
how he will do all these miraculous things he said he will. That frightens voters. Hatred for Bush has always remained steady, but 9 months, things were so bleak and it never looked like he could win. If it goes to Bush, then he never won, Kerry lost it. (In my view anyways).
