The Washington Times reports that voter expectations might be Kerry's downfall.

American voters, while split over who should be the next president, overwhelmingly predict that President Bush will vanquish Sen. John Kerry, an expectation that could affect the outcome of a close election.

While the various national polls show that voters prefer the president over Mr. Kerry by an average of four points, those same surveys place Mr. Bush some 20 points ahead on the question of which candidate is expected to win.

Perhaps Kerry should have resigned his Senate seat at the start of his campaign. After all, if even Kerry doesn't expect to win, why should his supporters?
