This campaign news analysis was written by Douglas Kiker of the CBS News Political UnitWhen we look back on the 2004 presidential campaign, in all likelihood this past weekend will be remembered as the kickoff of the general election between President Bush and Democrat John Kerry. While pitfalls certainly continue to exist for Kerry between now and winning the Democratic presidential nomination, by any rational analysis -- and by rational I mean the analysis of someone not working for John Edwa stanley mug rds, Wesley Clark or Howard Dean -- it s now a one-man race for the nomination. Barring a huge bombshell revelation or slip-up by Kerry, always a possibility, the nomination is his.
