Well, it seems my love fest with Dean is coming to an end. That’s not entirely true. I still like the guy and honestly believe he’d do wonders for this country, but the media has latched onto the walking zombie that is John Kerry and as we all know, American’s don’t think for themselves that often and follow mostly what the media tells them, and right now they’re saying vote for the zombie.

Dean’s second place finish in New Hampshire I expected, but I didn’t expect Kerry to again take such a commanding lead.

Then, with Dean firing Joe Trippi today, well, the new guy has one week to fix things and well, things ain’t looking so good. I can hope for a miracle, I really will, but I’m not going to get my hopes up only to have them dashed.

Getting back to Kerry for a moment, Republicans who support George Bush should be exceptionally happy with his wins. First, Senator’s don’t get elected often to higher office. Bush = Governor. Reagan = Governor. Clinton = Governor. He doesn’t have executive experience and that could hurt him. Second, the man is the Democratic version of Bob Dole in my mind. When Dole ran for President, he had nothing. No charisma, no passion, nothing. The sad thing for Bob Dole (btw I should point out I wasn’t a supported of his, nor did I loathe him like I’ve loathed other people what are currently President) is that he figured out who he was after he lost. He got less stiff (or more if you consider the Viagara thing) following his run for the presidency and the public embraced him. Who will ever forget the Pepsi ad he did? My point is that this is the same problem Kerry faces.

Kerry is so out of touch that even things he should know, things that were a product of his generation, he has not a clue about. Here’s an example take from this article:

Kerry answered several questions from the audience and received frequent applause. He stumbled a bit, however, when one audience member asked Kerry if he knew the cultural importance of his baseball cap, which featured a white “X” on a black background.

“The cultural importance of the Latin Ten?” asked a puzzled Kerry before realizing the hat referred to slain civil rights activist Malcolm X. He eventually recovered and said Malcolm X represented an angry reaction to discrimination and poverty, issues that “have been staring us in the face for a long, long time.”

Okay, enough politics for now. Provided Dean is still in the race when the California primary rolls around, he’s got my vote, but it’s becoming clear to me that all we’ve got to look forward to is a Kerry vs. Bush campaign and, well, that’s not all that interesting in my book.
