OK - thanks.
It's not a mystery why more decent people don't choose to run for public office, if this is their reward.
The storyline in the media is about to become: In a race this close, as we enter the final stage, both men will resort to below-the-belt negative personal campaigning.
It seems to me, Bush would be well served to fake Kerry out on this. Start running ads with Laura at his side, speaking right into the camera about the future he envisions for America. I would even suggest that, for every negative thing Kerry says, answer him in one of these ads.
(Is my Pollyana side showing?)
