'PANICKY' DEMS IN THE DUMPS


September 4, 2004 -- Democrats were reaching for the panic button yesterday amid growing fears that John Kerry is blowing the 2004 race — while President Bush basked in the glow of a successful New York convention. "The smell of panic is in the air," said a veteran Democratic strategist as Time magazine reported that Bush has suddenly built an 11-point lead over Kerry.

Democratic angst was fueled by Kerry's decision to hold a shrill, post-midnight rally right after Bush's well-received convention speech and blast the wartime commander in chief as "unfit to lead."

"It looked reactionary and panicky and angry — not confident. That's not presidential," said a senior Democrat.

Others said Kerry is starting to look as tone-deaf as 1988 Massachusetts loser Michael Dukakis.

The stunning turnaround began after anti-Kerry Vietnam vets went on the air with TV attack ads noting how Kerry once painted fellow vets as war criminals.
