31. In August, people will go on vacation or watch the Olympics.
I wonder how many undecided voters want to hear Kerry bashing between Olympic events or while they're driving to the Grand Canyon, etc., or just trying to get the kids ready for school?

I think that the Kerry folks should come up with a nice, simple, easy ad for the Olympics.

Have the Kerry and Edwards families with a large group of staffers on risers behind them. Dress them all in "Olympic" gear and red-white-and-blue.

"I'm John Kerry and I approved this ad" with a photo of Kerry doing some sport.

then . . .

"Good luck to all U.S. Olympic athletes from all of us at the Kerry/Edwards campaign. We'll be rooting for you. USA! USA! USA!" then loud clapping and cheering.

Only play it a few times to let people know you're still around and thinking about normal things as well as campaigning.

Let Bush go negative and be all serious when no one else is. He'll look like a jerk.

Leave the heavy-duty stuff for closer to the Rethug convention--if they hold one. The way it looks this evening they all just might want to phone in their votes from an undisclosed location.
