If Bush is going after Democrats, Kerry should target Republicans
Specifically, Republicans who favor fiscal discipline. He should make a commercial to be shown in Republican areas calling for them to support him to reduce the deficit so that our children and grandchildren won't have to pay off Bush's debt. All he has to do is shake loose a few here and there.

I suppose it's too late to make a major difference, but even a few would help. And it wouldn't hurt him anywhere. And it might piss Bush off so that he would really lose it. Win-win, in my book.

1. Like we're going to lose anyone from this side of the fence.
More insane sabre rattling from the king of lies. What a retarded fuck. When you add up all the bungles and stupidity of this ape-boy, it looks more and more like he wants to lose.

Works for me.

3. I guess he's playing to local TV viewers
I don't see too many real Democrats deserting Kerry.

But I still think Kerry could win over Republicans disgusted by Bush's insane fiscal irresponsibility.

4. That could work.
He could say, "Now, since we don't require any loyalty oaths, we might have a few undecideds or conservatives here with us. I want to say 'welcome', and call your attention to the massive federal deficit and the creation of the largest bureaucracy in history. Bush ran on a platform of reducing the size of government, but he did exactly the opposite."

6. That's good, but for maximum impact
Needs to do it in ads that run in Republican areas of swing states.

5. And I think he should quote dubya's granddad
as his opener, before stating his case to republicans.
