Why hasn't the Kerry campaign run a Bush flip-flop ad?

Seriously, if the Daily Show can do a Bush vs. Bush debate segment, why can't the Kerry campaign do an ad that juxtoposes clips of Bush saying completely contradictory things.

1. They need to run it and get the media to talk about it

Bush does damage to Kerry by getting every media in the U.S. to talk about his ads for days after they are released.

Kerry needs to release ads to the media even when they aren't going to run in very many places. When CNN and Fox are running them during the news, a lot of people see them.

4. Repubs bring up things from 10 or 20 years ago

He could present 10 or 15 b*sh flip flops from this year alone. Or last 30 days, or last 2 weeks. Cryin out loud.

6. No -- We keep our word is a credibility ad, not a flip flop ad

I'm talking about an ad that juxtaposes clips of Bush saying completely contradictory things. For instance, they could show a clip of Bush expressing his opposition to the Department of Homeland Security, and then show a clip claiming credit for creating the department.

7. Things... I've heard things...

specifically that the Kerry campaign will be doing a major ad blitz very soon. Now that they've raised so much money they can start to spend it more... well... liberally (no pun intended, seriously).

I don't know what they're going to say, but plan on seeing more Kerry ads out there within the month.
