WELL: Tomorrow should clear up a lot of the Democratic nomination picture. Look for a lot of Kerry wins, and a lot of stronger-than-expected Clark showings. Watch me yawn. There's an interesting post on Le Sabot Post-Moderne about a potential challenge to Bush from the right, along with an interesting an thought-provoking response by a no doubt devilishly handsome and wise young man.
Incidentally, about Kerry having the high numbers v. Bush--this is what Discoshaman below refers to as the Kerry 'bounce.' No one knows anything about him, so everyone who's thinking about leaning Democratic is vaguely on his bandwagon at the moment. The key will be seeing where he peaks in the next week or so: that'll be the ceiling of potential Democratic support (and not likely to exceed 55%, I think). Logically speaking, he has nowhere to go but down (at least if my Kerry thesis* holds).
*No one is likely to become more enamored of Kerry over time, except for Party ID Democrats who'd drink the kool-aid no matter who the nominee was.
