Kerry boosts Staff in Iowa
Kerry boosts staff in Iowa
To televise forum with voter group

Senator John F. Kerry is ramping up his presidential campaign in Iowa in hopes of scoring impressively in its Jan. 19 nominating caucuses, transferring aides to his 100-person operation there and staging an unusual, 30-minute forum with undecided voters Sunday that will be broadcast statewide.

Kerry's goal in Iowa -- to place among the top three vote-getters -- is intended to give his candidacy some momentum as he plows toward the Jan. 27 primary in New Hampshire, where his political fortunes have sunk lately. A Franklin Pierce College poll published yesterday is the third in a week to suggest that Kerry is significantly trailing Howard Dean in New Hampshire; the college's poll put Kerry in second place with 14 percent of voters' support and Dean way ahead with 39 percent.

Kerry campaign advisers yesterday outlined their unfolding Iowa strategy, touting Sunday morning's "live town hall" as an unprecedented event in Iowa presidential politics. The unscripted, unedited, question-and-answer session with about 50 Iowa voters in a television studio will be broadcast on seven television stations across the state.

1. Does this mean opening his pocketbook to crush the grassroots? (n/t)

3. How about to INFORM people
so they don't believe some of those 'grassroots' Deanies who spread memes that Kerry is 'corrupt' and 'Bushlite' because they don't care about truth.

4. Excellent point!

it's a "MOVEMENT" - nothing to do about the TRUTH!

OK - a little history about Dean's campaign. Remember in the beginning he attacked all other candidates - in particular Kerry - remember the Philly Cheesesteak? DU became a bloody war site with Deanies on the attack. Every time Dean went to the potty, there was a post - let's get his name out there.

He has "waffled" on too many points to put in this post. Most of Dean's campaign has to do with advertising of the merchandise. Some retailers do this - get your name out there - people won't care about your reputation - they will remember YOU and not the issues.

Dean's campaign is about marketing. Kerry's campaign - along with many other candidates - is about ISSUES!

5. I love the "unscripted, unedited, question-and-answer session" idea.

I bet those folks will have a lot better questions than Koppel's.
