Dare I say it but your suspicion could well be right. As for voting making a difference, Kerry could be his own worst enemy there. He wants to send more troops to Iraq, and he apparently supports the latest criminal policies of Sharon.
The current system of college voting makes the US a 'weak' unrepresentative democracy. Its really a plutocracy. I would personally would like the US left (Nader, Kusmitch) to say to Kerry they will only support him if he undertakes electral reform, even moderate changes would be good, such as evening up the college votes that create a instituional conservative bias (big rural states with more college votes than their population should allow).
