Can Kerry beat Bush or is Bush unbeatable in 2004?

Well, it looks like Kerry is leading the pack after a strong showing in NH, and he may just be the man who'll be going against Bush in the 2004 elections.

The question is: Is Bush actually beatable or is he a shoe-in for a second term?
 
I could beat the Bush.

I think Bush will take it though. I think it's a matter of stability. We have gone through a rough few years, and although Bush may not be the best man for the job, at least we know the status and I don't think the country is ready to make any drastic changes.
 
I think it's much too early to tell, though I'd not be surprise if Bush is a shoe-in.

But as for Kerry being the lead (at the end) ... that's too early to tell. I'm surprised he's done well so far, perhaps I should read up on him. But I don't think he'll make it to the end as the Democratic ticket or whatever.
 
His daddy carried a 90% approval rating into his second term election year and lost. I now never call anything a shoe-in again.
 
I still think Edwards is going to come on strong. Kinda expected Kerry to do well in NH but, while hes a good man, I don't think hes sharp enough to hold his own in a full campaign.
 
Nobody is unbeatable.

Dean is a nut.
Kerry is a liar.
Clark is scary.
Edwards, he's the wildcard.
 
"[W]e urge you, after consulting with Congress, and consistent with the U.S. Constitution and laws, to take necessary actions (including, if appropriate, air and missile strikes on suspect Iraqi sites) to respond effectively to the threat posed by Iraq's refusal to end its weapons of mass destruction programs." -- From a letter signed by Joe Lieberman, Dianne Feinstein, Barbara A. Milulski, Tom Daschle, & John Kerry among others on October 9, 1998

"The threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but as I said, it is not new. It has been with us since the end of that war, and particularly in the last 4 years we know after Operation Desert Fox failed to force him to reaccept them, that he has continued to build those weapons. He has had a free hand for 4 years to reconstitute these weapons, allowing the world, during the interval, to lose the focus we had on weapons of mass destruction and the issue of proliferation." -- John Kerry, 10/9/02

"(W)e need to disarm Saddam Hussein. He is a brutal, murderous dictator, leading an oppressive regime. We all know the litany of his offenses. He presents a particularly grievous threat because he is so consistently prone to miscalculation. ...And now he is miscalculating America’s response to his continued deceit and his consistent grasp for weapons of mass destruction. That is why the world, through the United Nations Security Council, has spoken with one voice, demanding that Iraq disclose its weapons programs and disarm. So the threat of Saddam Hussein with weapons of mass destruction is real, but it is not new. It has been with us since the end of the Persian Gulf War." -- John Kerry, 1/23/03

"Iraq may not be the war on terror itself, but it is critical to the outcome of the war on terror, and therefore any advance in Iraq is an advance forward in that..." -- John Kerry 12/15/03

"I don't believe in litmus tests, but I believe very strongly that the right to choose and the right to privacy are fundamental constitutional rights and I can't imagine supporting a Supreme Court nominee who doesn't share my view of the Constitution." -- John Kerry
