Negatives - I didn't like the import perscription drugs answer. No one buys that one. The "Win the Peace" shots wern't returned effectively. Outsourcing wasn't countered at all yet. That's his top weakness.

Thats because you don't understand it Dan. Drugs are a 135 billion dollar industry in America. In Canada the drug industry tops out at 5 billion. They import another billion from America. They couldn't supply Detroit with American drugs from Canada.

That's not getting out to the voters, particulary the seniors. All anyone hears is "Same drugs are cheaper in Canada."(subsidized, I know) and "Why do they cost more here?".

It's not going over well as far away as 100 miles from the border.

Bush sucked on drug imports, and Kerry won that one, and deserved to win, and got some points for it, which will hurt Bush a bit. The idea is to bring the two tier price system down. The Torie plan is needed, and it is needed now (most favored nation drug pricing, as you know). Bush won't do it. If this were the only issue that mattered, I would vote for Kerry early and often.

If there is some event in DC, I will try to attend. It is time that I meet some of my friends, whom I have never met. I have only met two Freepers on this forum face to face, one of which has been banned, so I am something of a wraith.
