Kerry Lead Shrinks to Three Points in New Hampshire
Nothing about this makes sense. Dean clearly needs this bounce to stay alive, but the fact that it's him in second place in New Hampshire one day before the primary is something of a shock after last week's events. Have Granite-staters decided to punch his ticket and let the rest of the nation decide if he's worthy?
If I were Kerry right now, I'd be carrying Newsweek around with me on the campaign trail. The latest polling data shows Kerry as the only contender for the nomination who beats Bush in a head-to-head matchup. The margin is only 49-46, and it's obviously months too soon to know what people will really do, but leading Bush in the polls is a new achievement for the Democrats. In a contest of electability, being the man who did it must mean something.
