Denial...

...it's not just a river in Egypt any more...

Howard Kurtz dives headfirst into the tank for Kerry. Here's a helpful hint: when you're on the same page as Josh Marshall, that should be the first clue that maybe you're on the wrong track.

Howard points out that Kerry is behind by 1-3 points in the polls, but conveniently fails to point out that Kerry was previously up by 6 before all the "bumps" of naming Edwards and his convention. He also fails to point out that Bush hasn't even accepted his nomination yet, so there will likely be at least a small bounce which will put Kerry even further behind.

If, as Howard and Josh suggest, the Kerry campaign doesn't consider bringing in the new staffers as a shake-up then John Edwards should sue for malpractice...
