Just let the Iraqi war, the economy, Afghanistan do the work for us until September. People have short memories and will vote on how they feel just before the election. If Kerry stays within a margin of 5 points, Kerry will win. Remember Rush was predicting that Bush would win in a landslide in 2000. We all know what happened.

2. NO.
Gore was silent for 3 months in the Spring/Early Summer of 2000 and he never could recover. Kerry needs to keep raising money so he can continue to get his message out.

3. I agree, but I don't know about September.......
That may be a little late. I think it needs to start now and be well paced. I agree the people complaining about the low profile at this stage of the game, especially with all the stuff that is going wrong with no help from anyone but bushco itself are getting too worked up, too early.

4. September is too late.
Kerry knows what he's doing, or at least that's what I've convinced myself. He absolutely does need to be swingin' the hammer by mid-July, in my opinion. Announcing his VP pick will help him accomplish this, I'm hoping.

5. I just want our Dem leaders to wake up
they need to do some heavy hitting for Kerry.

for every piss-ant little nit they pick at Kerry about medals, etc., our Dem leaders should be nailing Bush about Iraq, our trade deficit, education, etc.

6. keep hitting them where it hurts
Just keep tell the truth and expose their lies. The only way to beat a repug is to catch them in a lie.

7. I agree
Kerry needs to be careful and make sure that he has sufficient funds to really fight it out with Bush in the Fall. It is actually looking fairly positive for this.
