Tomorrow's coverage of Kerry on MTP will focus on what he said

and not on how he "fluffed" it.

things'..sounds like Kerry may be aiming for the second slot on Bush's ticket. I'm sure Kerry would have no problem supporting ' a good amn who wants to do good things'..

Bush/Kerry '04...Can't we all get along?


Dean '04...

the political arena?

Dean '04

God_bush_n_kerry

"First, there was the news that he had surged to a 21-point lead over Sen. John Kerry in the latest numbers from New Hampshire, site of the first presidential primary, where likely voters in a Zogby Poll prefer Dean by 38 percent to 17 percent for Kerry and just single digits for all other entrants. That’s a stunning reversal from Kerry’s 13-point advantage in February and their dead tie in June. "

Because in fact it's just beginning and their cockiness is sure to get them in trouble.

Policy is more important than polls, as least to those voters who want to vote for someone meaningful and not just whoever is hip at the moment.

Most dean suporters are there for his policies the hipness just adds to the fun.

Can u name one? I mean real policy, not just what someone said about the war. But an actual policy.

Kerry supports this idiotic law, Dean doesn't.

Edit: Repealing ALL of the stupid tax cuts--Dean is for that, Kerry isn't.

Is a good start.

I would say deans gun stance works for me over kerrys also As does his stance on the tax cuts and his health care reform.

Dennis K?

Give me a break. it's all about the early primaries. We all know that. National polls mean very little when it clearly states that 2/3 of dems can't even name a single candidate.

I am now experiencing cognitive dissonance.

I was an early Kerry supporter, but his mixture of slam vs. mealy mouth beltway talk has left me disenchanted. I've been leaning toward Dean, but am not entirely sold. I'm one of those now officially "fence-sitting." Not waiting for Clark, either....his little dance on recent shows has left me a bit cynical...

Remember, alienating all who voted for Bush is not going ot work. Attacks must be focused on policy and not personality. Although, the quote Russert aired from Kerry several months ago implying Bush is still the same old college frat boy he knew at Yale was funny. Kerry of course didn't take the bait. He will challenge Bush on issues and therefore not have his attacks characterized by Bushies as negative. Same thing with Dean and Dean will strike out and seem overly negative which will work aginst him.

That all of the people that voted for bush still think he is just peachy. Dont forget bush didnt get the most votes last time so all of those people that voted for him in the first place werent even the majority. Add to that the fact that many of the people that vted for bush the first time no longer think hes the great guy they thought he was voting for.

Take the remainder that would be offended by someone saying the guy they voted for was full of crap and piss em off any way you want they wont relect bush anyway and arent going to vote dem no matter what you say.

No thanks ill take the candidate that is ready to take the fight right to bush and call him for what he is. The only reason bush has any standing left is because people are walking arround with no clue what he is really doing to our country. Till we Educate them they will keep thinking bush is great!

Syaing bush is a great guy isnt helping to educate them to whats really going on and implies complicity with what he is doing.

Dean '04

You keep listening to Dean and you will be sold. He is the real deal.;-)

the pundits screaming that "Kerry hates Bush" the way Dean has them screeching "Dean hates Bush". I thought Kerry did a more than excellent job on MTP. If you listened to what he actually said, he made emminent sense. This is an extremely intelligent man.

obvious that in Kerry's world he judges Bush as 'a very likable man...a good man who want to do good things' so if Bush is re-elected I'm sure Kerry will be happy to have ' a likable man ...a good man who wants to do good things.'


Others view Bush as the extension of an evil, murderous, greedy, self-centered monarchy/dynasty that has lied and murdered and killed many in the interest of $$$$$$. Kerry simply admires this 'good man' that he sees. No reason to get alllll excited when Kerry states on MTP his admiration for the Bush dynasty and their goodness and good intentions. Settle down and watch Kerry Spin.

Big Deal.

Must explain why he's been relentlessly attacking him, and comparing Bush's economic handling to that of Herbert Hoover. Yeah, a real good chum, all right.

Get real, John Kerry, or anybody for that matter, is not going to go on stage and say, "Bush is the devil and a Nazi," so sorry to disappoint you. That's just not sensible politics.

'love fest' for this 'good man who wants to do good things' in his re-election ads.

Vote Bush-'A good man who wants to do good things.'

Dean '04...

"Bush is a likeable guy, trying to do good" My god what a scathing attack. Way to go John.

Bush was misled by people in his administration?

Hey, George, I'm behind you 100% on Yucca Mt. and Sierra Blanca.

It is easy to secondguess the commander-in-chief in a time of war. I choose not to do that.

And i think its what will kill him.

I saw meet the press. Why the hell would I read a peice telling me what I was suposed to have heard on a show I watched?

It must portray kerry ina positive light. As well it should he did well over all. But he exposed himself badly in a few areas and other articles will not be so kind. In fact they will use Kerry's statements today as an excuse for bush in the future.

democrats admire George Bush. Kerry knows the 'goodness' in George Bush.

Dean '04...Not Bush-like...Not Bush lite' Not 'liking' Bush

I watched, and read, it carefully, and did not hear, or read, anything the Bush campaign would like to use.

You won't see him veering left for the primaries, then right for the general election. Instead he's just articulating what he believes is right.

coverage will focus on what he said about Dean over anything substantive (his war diatribe was still waffled). Dean becomes the story out of this appearance, not about Kerry. Dean wins the news cycle if that happens.
