Kerry's Not Worried

This from a Time magazine interview with Kerry:

"We're in a stronger place than I've been in any campaign I've ever run before. You looked at the polls; there wasn't one of you who said I'd be the nominee. Well, I'm going to win this race because Americans want better leadership.

"As we get into those cold days of October and people's juices begin to flow and they measure us one to one, I'm confident that my record of fighting for this country since I was a young man is going to eclipse the disastrous choices that have been made by George Bush."

Even I had counted him out in the primaries. I was wondering when he would drop out. I didn't think in a million years that Kerry would be the nominee. So, I honestly believe that he is not worried. However, I wouldn't say that he is overly confident either. It is extremely difficult for a candidate to defeat an incumbent president. But anybody would have to concede that Kerry is in a good spot to pull out a victory in November.

Latest Rasmussen 3-day tracking poll:
Kerry 46.4%
Bush 47.2%

Current electoral predictions (270 needed to win):
Kerry: 269
Bush: 233
States that are too close to call: Maine, Nevada, and Florida

No, Kerry's not in a bad spot at all
