As long as the focus is off Kerry, he can't get his message out (whatever the hell that is).

Kerry has got to try to grab the agenda back, but he can't, as long as it's on the National Guard service.

The public has made up its mind about Bush's National Guard service, and they don't care about it.

Every time Kerry tries to get his message out, he slips in the polls. If the Dems do have an "October Surprise" they will have to keep the race within reach. I wouldn't discount any possibility with these power hungry people.(end of paranoid rant)

I tend to think Bush is better off when the race is about issues and Kerry is forced to open his mouth. But when Kerry can hide and keep the focus off of him, amazingly his numbers go up. Kerry does well when he is not seen or heard from. That is why debates will help Bush. Kerry's creepiness will be on display for the whole world to see in contrast to the likeability of the President. Bottom line, we need to get this Vietnam era crap over with. Candidates lose momentum when they appear on the defensive. We must turn the tide and control the discussion from here on out.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but doesn't Kerry's actually polling increase the longer he stays hidden? Therefore, this diversion would play out to Kerry's benefit.

Well I am not a newbie but I have been thinking of another type of diversion.. bear with me.. put on tinfoil if you must.

Here goes.. WHAT IF, the DNC has written Kerry off already and this is more of a test case to see what and how this would be treated. Like how long would it take to expose it, how would it be done and who would do it and how long would it last.

They would be paying close attention to where and how the exposure occured and who would pick it up and who would buy into it. See how long they could perpertate the lie.

Consider this a test run for the 08 election.

As a result of extensive discussion with another freeper who has been glued to these threads we have consdered what the calculation could be.

See what impact the new media has vs the old media?

Still considering...

Thoughts?
