What will be the result of John Kerry's "botched joke"?

In a flashback to the 2004 presidential campaign, John Kerry has again stuck his foot in his mouth with veterans and had been forced to apologize. If you have been under a rock for the last 24 hours, here is the deal.

Kerry made the comment Monday to students at Pasadena City College in California.
He said: "You know, education -- if you make the most of it, you study hard and you do your homework and you make an effort to be smart, you can do well.
"If you don't, you get stuck in Iraq."

As democrats hastily back away from John Kerry in an attempt to save their anticipated election victory next week, the question comes to mind: What will be the impact of this verbal snafu?

I predict that the Kerry remark has little to no impact on the election. Congressional elections are largely won on local issues, and unlike GWB John Kerry is no one's party leader. However, it has likely ended any possibility of John Kerry making a "come back" run for president. He has reminded us all of his inability to stand up to scrutiny at key moments. He is not someone the democats want representing them nationally, and not someone Americans want in the top spot.
