Reply #3: If Kerry STRONGLY takes on Bush on Iraq and [View All]

[Gloria]

terrorism, Kerry will win! Frankly, I think a lot of this is a question of image...Kerry needs to come on strong and look like the fighter he is. He needs to back Bush into a corner in terms of continuuing the 'Fantasyland' attacks...it's not about crediblity now, it's about Bush's competence and grip on reality! Kerry has to make this PERSONAL (about Bush's flaws) but in an impersonal way.....in other words, highlighting his weakness and dependency on others, his poor judgment, etc.

In other words, Kerry has to make Bush look so out of touch with reality that if someone asks a voter "who do you want with a finger on the button" the answer is Kerry, not Bush.

Kerry has the gravitas and smarts--he now needs to kick Bush in the soft underbelly every day, non-stop with a bit of non-offending mockery thrown in. He's got to spur people to acknowledge their own unspoken uneasiness and doubts about Bush....
