OK. Kerry performed better than expected, but not quite as well for being a real threat to Bush. What is interesting is that some media are recovering hope and overdoing it. Example, some comentators at CNN. "Kerry made it, Kerry looked presidential"....Well, by no means Kerry defeated Bush. Moreover, he didn't do anything that could possible change his image as a flip-flopper. He just continued the trend he started last Monday of trumpeting his prospective international policies. He is like a kid with a new toy. He wants to project the image of a guy who is not just focused on Iraq or Afghanistan: European allies, the former Soviet Union, Iran, North Korea. Out of that he is not going to project a presidential image. Interestingly, it is precisely in these issues that Bush did better than Kerry! Out of two weeks of a renewed discourse, it is unlikely that Kerry can do anything better than just encourage his own supporters.
