Kerry didn't do himself any harm, while Bush done himself no favours
I anticipate that Kerry will do even better in the economic/domstic policy debates.
What achievements can Bush run on? Record budget deficits, the most jobs lost since Hoover, 45m Americans without health insurance, rising poverty, tax cuts that have not beneffited most Americans. But then Bush probably thinks a $422bn deficit's a surplus.
I can understand perfectly why John Eisenhower has endorsed Kerry and more may follow.

The economy is better now than it was when Clinton won in his landslide re-election. The economy certainly didn't hurt his campaign.
