Anna Bloviation's ridiculously optimistic 2004 presidential predictions:
Kerry wins democratic nomination.
Kerry gets Edwards on board for VP position.
Kerry resigns Senate.
Kerry beats Bush thanks to all of the young voters Dean mobilized early on (this is the ridiculously optimistic part...)
Bush dumps Cheney as VP citing 'health' reasons.
Bush asks Governor Mitt Romney of Massachusetts to be VP.
All political hell breaks loose in MA as the local politicians try to move up the food chain.
What leads me to believe that Kerry will get the nod?
1) The Botox injections. Up until about a month ago Kerry looked like a worn basset hound (and that never is good for getting elected) and now he doesn't. He must have taken his wife's advice (an enthusiastic proponent and user of Botox).
2) He has an attractive wife and gorgeous daughters -- all of whom are supportive. Speaking of wives... What's up with Dean's wife? Not that looks count for everything but would it be too much to ask to brush your hair before you go on national television?
3) He seems to have found his 'groove' in terms of messaging, and his new ad showing him as a young sexy Vietnam soldier will win him lots of brownie points with all of the women voters who miss fantasizing about Clinton (Bush might be a steely Texan but he isn't sexy -- I think it's that blank stare and his excessive malapropisms).
4) Kerry has a war chest of I.O.U.'s to cash in on -- Clark not nearly as many and I'm afraid having Michael Moore's support just isn't going to be enough.
5) Kerry's competition has some real issues: Dean is starting to scare people, Edwards could use some wrinkle injections, Clark doesn't have any ideas, and
Lieberman just doesn't stand a chance.
6) Gut instinct.
