There are many people out there who've already annointed Kerry as the next president. Some things to note though: 1. Bush has at least $100,000,000 more to spend on his campaign. 2. Kerry has a long liberal voting record (which Bush can use against him). 3. Bush is still a more relaxed, laid back guy.

If Kerry is smart he won't use the smug I'm-smarter-than-you routine that Gore used four years ago during some of their debates. It backfired on him.

If Kerry is going to be able to match Bush $ wise, how much time is he going to have to spend fund raising? While Bush is running ads, Kerry will be running for more money.

P.S.
One day I'll put in one of those links....
