With 75 days to go, what are the two campaigns talking about?

Splash page on John Kerry’s site (as on 08/18/2004)
Splash page on George Bush’s site (as on 08/18/2004)
Now, carefully listen to all of this. See a pattern here.
The President of the United States, the war president, the peace president, the “compassionate conservative” of 2000, the charming fella from Texas, the “I hear you and the whole world hears you” conscientious and caring President, the straight shooter, one who leads with a steady hand and moral clarity - this is the best plan that you and your party have to offer Americans as a reason to vote for you come Nov. 2nd:
Smear Kerry. Go after his Vietnam record. His 20 years of Senate record. Never mind my record as a Governor of the great state of Texas for 8 years and my record as the President of the United States for 4 years. Just focus on smearing Kerry. Keep throwing more adjectives at him than one can possibly throw with the bazillions in our re-election war chest. Bottomline, discredit John Kerry’s character to the point where nothing that he says would matter.
That’s it. That’s the grandiose plan for our Commander-in-Chief, George W. Bush, to (barely) win another election.
What a pity

Hello,
Great website. Very insightful. I started reading the kerry blog about 2 weeks ago and that’s how I found your website. I sent a person who posts to the blog an article yesterday about how Cheney will probably eventually be indicted over his Haliburton corruption. I was hoping it would have been posted somewhere on the site. I’m appauled at how many americans are still going to vote for the most ignorant and corrupt Administration I feel we’ve ever had to live through. They seem to have so much power that noone can stop them. That makes it even scarier. I have a co-worker that stated “bush loves god therefore I love bush” At that point I knew there was no reasoning with a person whose thinking was so limited that that was her whole reason for voting for him! They say “Ignorance is bliss” but it can also be quite dangerous considering these same people have and will vote come this November! Keep up the great work and I too really hope people are going to wake up and learn what this administration is all about. I sent in an article to the Press Enterprise in Riverside, CA asking everyone before they go to the polls this year they need to read and educate themselves about what is going on in America! Everyone needs to ask themselves “What has this president done for me to deserve my vote again?” I can’t come up with one valid reason! Thank you for your time. A true Kerry/Edwards supporter!

Thanks for the kind words, Michelle.
Since I don’t get to decide who will be the next “Leader of the Free World”, I am counting on folks like yourself and other volunteers of Kerry/Edwards campaign to do the hard work.
Meanwhile, I will continue to chime in every now and then fervently hoping that my escapades in writing about US politics encourages at least “one” undecided soul to ask himself/herself “Hmm, maybe I need to go over this election thingie one more time”.
Just one would be good enough..;-)
