Bush can't win this election now. Kerry can only lose it

A softly-softly long game will put a Democrat in the White House

Whoever said that misfortunes come in threes must have had George Bush
in mind these past few days. First the US president falls off his
mountain bike and grazes his face. Then Michael Moore's anti-Bush
movie gets the top prize at the Cannes film festival. And now, to cap
a lousy weekend, it looks as if Bush is going to lose the election in
November.
Let me be clear. When I say Bush is going to lose, I don't and can't
mean it in an absolutely-certain-to-lose, no-way-he-can-win,
you-can-put-your-house-on-it sort of way. America's election is still
more than five months away and the campaign has barely got out of
second gear. Any number of factors, above all in Iraq in the coming
weeks, could yet affect the outcome.
