NANTUCKET, Mass. -- Sen. John Kerry on Tuesday discarded the long-standing political tradition for presidential candidates to lay low the week of the opposite party's convention by scheduling two rallies in addition to a previously planned appearance before the American Legion convention in Nashville.
A campaign spokesman sought to portray the move as a strategy to put Kerry on the offensive and denied speculation that the Massachusetts Democrat was concerned by the current state of the race and was trying to regain momentum.

Tradition means nothing to these creeps. Hope he pays for this. Media will probably laud his new strategy.

The fact that he feels he must do this shows that he's feeling a bit like a piece of toast.

It's just more of the same - it's always been about being against Bush instead of for Kerry and this latest "stategy" is to take the spotlight off of Dubya and his successful convention, campaign, beautiful family - what a contrast that is! etc. etc.

After treading water ever since the Dem Convention_----just barely holding his own---Kerry is about to go down for the final count. This man is drowning in his own lies and vitriol and crying wont stop it.

Another classless move by the Kerry campaign. Hope it comes back to bite them in the butt.
Time to send money to the Swift Vets. (If I sent monee in every time John Kerry ticked me off, I'd be livin' on the street)

If he ges a cold reception and/or says something stupid at the American Legion convention 20 more "rallies" this week won't help.

One of the reasons why this "tradition" is upheld is because if a candidate feels the need to campaign during the convention, it makes him look desperate.
The Kerry-Edwards internal polls must look dreadful.

Media will probably laud his new strategy. The mediacrats instructed him to adopt the new strategy.
