Sublime? Meet Ridiculous

The City Pages Steve Perry straddles reality in today's Bush Wars.

On the one hand:

Tuesday morning’s conventional wisdom got one thing right. The biggest beneficiary of the whole pageant was Edwards, largely by virtue of his being neither of the main things Kerry is: a Boston Brahmin stiff ticketed for burial in the South, and an already failed one-time frontrunner.

So far, so good.

But then:

(Yes, Kerry’s a war hero--which might forestall certain kinds of attacks from the Bush camp, but hardly looks like a marquee attraction in a race defined by the economy and by widespread opposition to a war that Kerry supported.)

It occurs to me - Perry probably is referring to widespread opposition among the Democrat base.

Which is fine. Campaign on it. See how it plays in Peoria in ten months.
