I’d even think Kerry has been busy, so Gore’s distant appraisal might be worth something.

The boxing analogy is not meant to be flip; its meant to short-hand this thing into easy to understand metaphors. BTW, I don’t think removing Bush from office is nearly enough “consequence” for the Iraq war. If I were in a position to do it, I would see to it that Bush, Cheney, Rice, and a few others actually faced war crimes prosecutions. But that’s just me. Anyway…
Just ten short years ago, the President looked and sounded very much like a younger, slightly less polished version of his father– but every bit the New England Ivy Leaguer-who-spent-time-in-Texas. But they trained him in rote and stock phrases and evasions and accent correction including teaching him to mispronounce nuclear, and making them APPEAR to be natural and breezy, and he CRUSHED the more polished and formal Ann Richards. Four years later, they had the formula down when he crushed the next guy.
In 1999, they came up with a formula for taking this guy national. They came up with a character I’ll call “Retarded Marlboro Man”– handsome, rugged, generally silent, and when not, pretty dumb and inarticulate but folksy and friendly… “REAL SEEMING”. They bought him a ranch, which has been in his family for generations (of MAYFLIES- it was bought in 1999).
For whatever reason, they loved this act in Texas. To be fair, governor is actually the 5th most important office under Texas’ bizarre constitution– its really ceremonial and part time.
But they took this act national. They already had the Republican side sewn up: the criminal enterprise known as the Bush family has 35,000 loyal donors willing to write $2,000 checks to anyone named Bush. No one else in either party has anything remotely like that. With that built in advantage, they lined up the party regulars and the smear machine and crushed John McCain.
With the party nomination sewn up, they then invented the Al Gore stiff cardboard cutout liar character, to offset against the folksy Dubya “real guy” character. Since IIRC, Survivor was one of humongous hit shows of 2000, I get the feeling that the Texas oil and money men who entrusted Karl Rove and Karen Hughes to create the “Dubya” character (Bush had previously been fond of calling himself “George Bush Junior”) realized they had struck gold with the idea of FAKE REALITY.
And so, going against the shy, but real AL Gore (who they portrayed as a confabulating cutout), the Faux-Texan Faux-regular guy Harvard MBA millionaire got close enough for his Texas oil and money men friends to cash in the chips they bought over at the Supreme Court, and the rest is a rather dark part of our history.
To paraphrase Blazing Saddles, Karl might say to himself “You are SO GOOOOOD. And they [the American people] are SO DUMB.”

Just asking…

We agree in principle, but not in measure. Kid Kerry has to win by the decisive margin necessary to score a “unanimous decision” as opposed to “a split decision”.
Does he have to knock the title-holder out? Certainly not. Does he have to knock him down? Very likely he does. Glancing blows will certainly not do it.
If the Title Holder (I won’t call Bush “Champ” because, (1) he isn’t, and (2) I’ll just keep typing “Chimp”) leaves the ring bloodied and shaken and the Challenger remains unscathed, even without the Title Holder being knocked down, that might be enough for that unanimous decision Kid Kerry needs.
While we call it “the sweet science”, judging the damned bouts is an art form: you just have to see how it plays out.
But we have had a paradigm shift: just two months ago, the debate (and this election) was Kerry’s to lose. Now, it may well be Bush’s to lose.
Injury update: Bush’s training has been hurt recently because of knee problems. He is not running, and is literally not as fast on his feet anymore, and may well be on pain killers and even anti-depressants because of the injuries (I’m quite serious about this; a key injury can really mess up everything.) So– if Kid Kerry can capitalize on any weaknesses in the No-Gentleman-George’s game, we could see that big upset the Kid needs right about now.

In keeping with your boxing analogy, I submit to you that the greatest Heavyweight ever was Muhammad Ali. Despite his self proclaimed greatness, however, there were several fights at the end of his career that each could be generously called a draw. Although it appeared that he may have lost some of these fights, the rationale was that you had to clearly beat the champ to get the crown, and Ali fought on.
At the same time, there was a kick boxer by the name of Rocky Aoki, who fought George Foreman in an exhibition fight. Mr. Aoki had a rather prominent chin, and the pugilists took to calling him Pelican Jaw. In the exhibition, Foreman had a great time punching the fish out of the Pelican’s Jaw.
Now, nobody will mistake Bush for a heavyweight, nor should he be spoken of in the same sentence as Ali. However, he is the current champ, and must be decisively beaten for the challenger to ascend. Pelican Jaw Kerry is way behind in points, even though, to quote Billy Joel (why?), Ali (Bush) has given away another round for free. Does anybody really believe that this Pelican, with his chin, has a chance to knock out the reigning, though not undisputed, Champeen of the World?
