Reply #7: In a way it's a really tough trade off [View All]

A win is determined by the electoral congress and it really did come down to a pretty small number of states. With normal media, it's ok - I don't think Clinton ever came near either, but we saw him on TV. I still wonder if it was the media's fear of Bush, their love of Bush, or possibly a specific dislike of Kerry.

I wonder if Kerry's plan isn't to appear in red and blue states over the next two years to get the good local press and to have enough people actually see him. It also is to be seen how well Hillary does in a long campaign. (One problem she might have is that her opponents this year and in 2000 are pathetic - so she may have no expertise against a stronger candidate.)
