Frankly, I expected better.
Okay folks. This is the third night of this convention. The goal of this convention was to introduce John Kerry to America...show people who he is. Does anybody think that they accomplished this goal on Day 3? I don't. That leaves them one more day to accomplish it. The clock is ticking...tick, tick, tick!
This is how they chose to handle it.
Only Edwards will ever make these comments. Kerry can't say them without another flipflop. The press will likely make him say the words though, and the suspision of lies and distortions will become more real in the voters eyes.
Bush should be able to undercut them by staying focused and listing all the accomplishments of the last four with a firm explanation of what the next four will look like.
I also expect about 30-35 thousand troops, mostly guard and reserve to come home in a medium draw down.
The polls should look much better by the end of Sept.
