Hm. A little apologetic-sounding. Think it'll work?

A little apologetic-sounding.

It doesn't come across that way to me. "I realized I'm tired of being taken for granted by John Kerry and his allies in Congress..."

BTW, that "and his allies in Congress"... apparently Bush figured out a loophole in McCain Feingold where he can spend unlimited money on Kerry bashing ads if he includes the words "and his allies in Congress."

If we expect Americans who are black to vote for Bush, we should expect they will do so with some ambivalence or misgivings - given the 90% vote they usually throw to Democrats. And some of them might take some heat from family members or friends.

I give a lot of credit to Bush/Cheney for running the ad. Not only do they have a good shot at getting more votes from Americans who are black than they did in 2000, their platform clearly has a lot to offer to people in the inner-city or of modest means, black or white.

My only beef with the ad is that it encourages people to vote "for our leaders in Congress", which doesn't differentiate between Republicans and Democrats. It's confusing in that my "leaders" in Congress are all Democrats - why is Bush suggested I support them?
