• Today’s Kerry Misery Index

  
  

  

  
  

  70%: Karl Rove is smiling today.

  
  

  “The Sharon-Bush partnership creates a ticklish tactical problem for John Kerry. The Democrats (like the GOP) have traditionally regarded Jewish settlements in the West Bank as ‘obstacles to peace.’

  
  

  Now that Bush has ruled that some of them are kosher, Kerry is in an awkward position.

  
  

  If he follows President Bush’s new policy direction he will bump up hard against the Jimmy Carter-NPR wing of his own party, not to mention polite European society. If, on the other hand, he decides to stand pat he will, much to his dismay, find himself running for commander in chief as the favorite son of Arafat and Hamas.”
