Bush on offensive as Kerry stumbles

57 percent of respondents agreed Mr. Kerry says what people want to hear, while only 33 percent said the Democrat says what he believes.

WAFFLE MAN
Meltin' John

Teresa packed my bags last night pre-flight
Zero hour nine a.m.
And I'm gonna li-i-ie like a rug by then
I miss A-lex so much I miss my wife
It's lonely out on stage
On such a truthless flight

And I think it's gonna be a long long time
Till Cheney brings me round again to find
I'm not the man they think I am at home
Oh no no no I'm a waffle man
Waffle man burning out his fuse up here alone

This ain't the kind of place to raise your voice
In fact it's not your biz
And there's no one home in my head if you did
And all these votes I made I don't understand
It's just my job five days a week
A waffle man, a waffle man

And I think it's gonna be a long long time...

I for one, am glad that the Bush campaign didn't have 9/11 victims lined up with prepared talking points before they aired those ads..........aren't you? The patience President Bush and his team have is astounding, IMO. I'm guessing they knew that the quick publicity that the leftist talking point victims got will end up working in favor of the President, and not against. There is plenty of time for the truth to win out, and they knew it.

I respectfully disagree. I don't think Republicans should have given the 9/11 family members talking points, but they should have reached out to them. And at the very least, the Bush campaign should have been on top of knowing exactly who the professional victims were -- heck, freepers figured out their left-wing, anti-Bush connections almost immediately. It took the Bush campaign nearly a week to point that out, when they should have done that immediately.

I'm curious about the current delegate count for Jfk.

#17 = You've got Jfk as the "the OFFICIAL Dem presidential candidate."

My question is, - is it official already? - (Obviously he's close & he's on a flip-flop roll!)
According to FR's CounterCounterCulture, and also the The Green Papers, it requires 2,162 delegates to nominate the Democrat.

The Green Papers has Jfk @ 1,935 delegates. It further sorts them as "Hard" and "Soft":
for Jfk: Hard: 1,610.5; and Soft: 1,935. Wed Mar 17 2004

I still think that none of the Dem primary candidates or the popular Dem leaders are suitable to lead the Dems, or lead the country.

Dems need to first change their philosophy and platform, before they worry about trying to win an election. We need a nationwide talent search for a Democrat who is suitable to be the Democrat nominee. I'm still for a brokered convention, - but we haven't found the right person. Some little-known Congressman or state-level Dem (or some competent Dem in business or the military...) who has the willingness to work for conservative reform in the Dem Party would be better than the names we've seen suggested thus far.

If Jfk hasn't yet reached the magic number of delegates, - wouldn't if be wonderful if flip-flop Kerry were to flounder in the remaining primaries!
(Nomination?! - what nomination...)

FYI - The Green Papers

FYI - According to CNN.com, J F'n Kerry has exactly enough delegates (2,162) to claim the nomination.

This total includes 381 "unpledged" delegates.
