2 New Kerry ads - scripts for "Commitment" and "Risk"

[papau]

"Commitment"
Kerry: "As President I'll set a few clear national priorities for America. "First, we will keep this country safe and secure. Second, I'll put an end to tax incentives that encourage American companies to ship jobs overseas. And third, we'll invest in education and healthcare.
"My priorities are jobs and healthcare. My commitment is to defend this country. "I'm John Kerry and I approved this message because together we can build a stronger America."



"Risk"
Kerry: "Let me tell you exactly what I would do to change the situation in Iraq. "I would immediately reach out to the international community in sharing the burden, the risk because they also have a stake in the outcome of what is happening in Iraq.
"The American taxpayer is paying now almost 200 billion dollars and who knows how many more billions and we're paying the highest price in the loss of lives of our young soldiers, almost alone.
"I'm John Kerry and I approved this message."

1. I don't know . . . copycatting Bush with that "I'm John Kerry . . .

and I approved this message" seems unnecessary and derivative . . . can't his folks come up with something original? . . .

2. Candidates are required by law to say that,

or something very similar. McCain-Feingold and all that.
