The Next President of the United States of America

In case you haven't heard,
John Kerry has swept the primaries on Super Tuesday. Edwards hasn't
officially bowed out yet, but pretty much everyone is assuming he'll
throw in the towel at some point tonight. It was a good race, and
Edwards (not to mention Dean) taught Kerry a lot.
Looking forward, I expect the bloodbath to begin this week. The Bush
campaign has announced that they'll begin a massive advertising assault
on Thursday, and MoveOn.org will be right there with him:

A Democratic-leaning online group will run television
commercials in 17 presidential battleground states starting Thursday to
counter President Bush's multimillion-dollar advertising blitz that
will begin the same day.
The MoveOn.org Voter Fund has been airing commercials assailing Bush
for months in several swing states, but this $1.9 million, five-day
effort will be its most far-reaching. The ads will ensure that there is
a Democratic presence on the TV airwaves in key states as Bush begins
to make his case for re-election.
Bush's campaign plans to spend a large part of its $100 million war
chest on ads during spring and summer. It will begin running a positive
ad about leadership Thursday on broadcast stations in 17 swing states
and nationally on cable networks targeting its GOP base. The campaign
is slated to spend at least $4.5 million on cable alone over the next
three weeks. In most states, MoveOn will run a new ad that takes Bush
to task for his economic policies, including overtime pay and
outsourcing jobs. In others, the group will run a previously released
spot that shows images of children toiling on a grocery line and in a
tire factory coupled with the text, "Guess who's going to pay off
President Bush's $1 trillion deficit?" Ads will run over five days at
medium levels on broadcast stations in 67 media markets in Arizona,
Arkansas, Florida, Iowa, Maine, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New
Mexico, New Hampshire, Nevada, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Washington,
West Virginia and Wisconsin. The television industry estimates that the average viewer in each media market would see a MoveOn spot about five times during the group's five-day ad run.

I've been looking forward to this for 3 years. All the money in the
world won't be able to buy Bush out of the hole he's dug this country
into. He'll spend a gazillion dollars trying to distract America from
the mess he's made, but it's not going to work.
Pack your bags, George. You and all your corrupt buddies are about to
join the 3 million people who've lost their jobs under your miserable failure of a Presidency.

Bring it on!!
