Boy, good thing that phone booth was there, so Kerry could change his suit
Edited on Mon Sep-20-04 02:30 PM by Dems Will Win
We now have the advantage, ladies and gentlemen.

THis is what Kerry has done in every election. 6 weeks before the poll, he starts tearing the hide off his opponents.

The voters are mad as hell and they wonder why the candidate running against who they're mad as hell at isn't also mad as hell.

Well now, Kerry is mad as hell. The Clinton team that came on Wednesday has obviously let Kerry be Kerry and by Goddess underneath he really is mad as hell!

If he keeps this up for the next 6 weeks we cannot lose.

Actually the skewed and falsified polls showing Bush way ahead have taken some energy out of the Bush campaign and they even stopped buying some ads. Now there's little time for them to get the big ground effort they would have had if Repub volunteers thought Bush was in trouble.

And the Dems have over 2 million workers hitting the streets over the next 6 weeks--all now armed with a fire-breathing mad as hell Super-Kerry to talk about.

Thic changes everything. The only thing that can save Bush now is to capture Osama...

3. Good point
I think his other people did indeed try to hold him back from going after what really makes him nuts.

And foreign policy is what drives him nuts. He knows what should be happening. He knows what is happening to the troops (and whether they know it or not, he loves them and wants them treated right)

His strength is in the economy's failings, it is true, but I think folks that are effected by the current economy alreay know who their buddy is. The people who are worried about national security are the ones who need to hear that Kerry has a plan and that he is better than Bush (good GOD what an understatement.

I know from experience that this is the question that comes up the most, even as workers try to bring up other subjects like the economy.

6. Also bring up the Balkan success:
We have to tell people that Kosovo was a success as well, that Kerry's Iraq Plan will be based on the model of the Balkan success.

Something that was planned and executed so well not a single American died.

ZERO.

5. I think you might be right but...
The media is doing their best to "Gore" him. They are going to keep the national polls artificially inflated so that when the Diebold machines kick in and steal the election for Chimpy they can all say..."too close to call".

8. Kerry needs to build momentum heading into the debates
he had that going in the primaries and thoroughly defeated every dem on stage, and these weren't knuckledraggers like Bush, but smart, experienced, articulate men. Edwards, Gephardt, Clark, Dean....

I can feel the tide turning in Kerry's favor.

let's not get too worried, remember Reagan trailed Carter by 9 POINTS ON OCTOBER 9TH. I can't say that enough! That's even after moderate John Anderson and his Democrat VP drained a big chunk of Carters support!

It can be done, it will be done!
