According to this AP story (and plenty of others), one of the main reasons democrats vote for John Kerry is because they want to get rid of George Bush. According to many analysts, that's supposed to be why Howard Dean imploded so completely: the true believers loved him, but realized that, paradoxically, he had not a chance in Hades to beat Mr. Bush. The antipathy for Bush outweighed the attraction for Dean. Sen. Kerry's rhetoric about showing Bush the door gets the biggest cheers of all at rallies.

Perhaps if I accepted the Bush=Hitler theorem this would make sense to me. As it is, this seems perilously close to Mr. Kerry surfing a wave of hysteria into the White House... but I don't think it is a hysteria most of the nation shares.
