The Coalition of the Boot

Hm.

A ragtag collection of moderate Republicans (John Eisenhower, former governor of Michigan Milliken), disgruntled Conservatives (Scott McConnell, CATO Institute figures, kinda sorta Bob Barr (!!!)), wistful neo-conserative hawks (Andrew Sullivan, Colkoh), Academic Leftists (Chomsky, Zinn), Naderites from 2000 (Michael Moore, former running mate Winona La Duke, and Conspiratorial Nut-jobs (LaRouche).

Oh, yeah. And the natural coalition that makes up the Democratic Party. (As a former Democratic leader of one of the two chambers put it, if this were a European Parlimentary system, the Democratic Party would be three or four small parties.)

With a coalition like that supporting him, how can Kerry lose? (And for that matter, how can he govern?)
