Karl Rove complains that Johnny Can Read

ORLANDO, Fla. - When John Kerry wants to make a point, he rips the headlines from the day's newspapers and works them into his stump speeches, highlighting bad news about the economy, gas prices, health care costs and military operations in Iraq (news - web sites) and Afghanistan (news - web sites).

"What we see in the news is George Bush (news - web sites)'s failed record," said Kerry spokeswoman Allison Dobson. "Either George Bush isn't in touch with what's really going on, or he either doesn't care or is misleading the public."


Bush's campaign said the pattern shows an opponent grasping at headlines while the president concentrates on bigger issues.

"Theirs is a rudderless campaign," said Bush strategist Karl Rove. "That kind of tactic is effective in a congressional or Senate campaign, but it's not enough when you're running for the president of the United States. This is about big issues in a serious time."
