Bob Dole sees the country trending blue (though, admittedly, that could just be the Viagra):

"I'd say right now Kerry has the edge," Mr. Dole said. "I'm looking at the Electoral College in the battleground states. And even though they didn't get a bounce in the convention, you know, people got to know John Kerry. I think most people liked what they saw. There's a little backlash now because of all the Vietnam thing. But he's probably ahead."

I'll take this opportunity to repeat what I've been saying for about four months now: Kerry by 7 on Election Day.
