Senator Splunge’s Badassssss Southern Strategy…..

….isn’t making his opponents nervous. From Robert Novak:

However, Kerry's opponents privately deride the switch of his Tuesday announcement from Boston to South Carolina, which holds its primary one week after New Hampshire. The Zogby Poll in July gave Kerry 5 percent in South Carolina for fifth place. He had not been in that state for three months prior to his Tuesday announcement. The announcement from the aircraft carrier USS Yorktown generated chuckles among the Democratic lobbyists who met Tuesday.

That last Zogby poll taken in South Carolina had Kerry trailing Al Sharpton by 3%.
