Prepare for the John Kerry comeback

John Kerry will win the debate tomorrow night. Count on it.

No, it won't be because he actually out-performs President Bush, and it won't be because he changes anyone's mind. In fact, to a neutral, unbiased observer, Kerry will probably come off like, well, John Kerry, and we all know what that is like.

But the Media and their Democrat allies are getting desperate. October is almost here, and they know that within 5 weeks they could be out of power for a long, long time. So the Media aren't even going to pretend to be unbiased. All Kerry has to do tomorrow night is avoid a Michael Dukakis-style disaster, and the papers on Friday will be filled with stories about Kerry being "confident" and "strong" and "reassuring", while the President will be described as "frustrated" and "defensive" and even "confused".

This pattern will continue to the end of the campaign. The stories have already been written; all that needs to be added are the specific dates and details. The Mainstream Media are going all-out on this one. John Kerry will be elected, or they will destroy their credibility trying.

It would be entertaining to watch, if I weren't so busy.
