How could Kerry project any more "Strength" than he already has?!

"I'm still not gung-ho on Kerry. I really don't think he's strong enough to run the country," says Kaplan, a widow who owns a tanning salon here and won't divulge her age. "Edwards is like a pretty-boy type ... I don't think they're strong enough and powerful enough to make the tough decisions."

"I'm a Democrat, but we've got two guys running who aren't very good," says Harold Amato, 61, a barber, while giving a crew cut to a customer. "Kerry just doesn't have that - I don't know - he's kind of soft. He'll tell you anything, and nothing will happen."

I do not understand how, especially after the convention, this misperception still exists that the Chimp is "strong" and Kerry is "soft." It's based on nothing but old stereotypes.

What the heck does Kerry have to do to get past this nonsense? Or can he? Why is the definition of "tough" and "strong" just a lot of hollow, macho posturing, costuming, and swagger? :mad:

1. I think they didn't watch the convention OR they watched

cable or network news and ate up what the corporate pundits dished out.


C-Span and FSTV. There is nothing else left for us.
