What should be Kerry's main strategy from now to election day ?
Edited on Sat Oct-16-04 08:17 AM by kentuck
I think we can anticipate the tactics of the opponent. They will go as negative as they can possibly get away with. Bush was saying yesterday that Kerry was on the "Left Bank"..(of the Seine River?) And it's only going to go downhill from here.

With that tactic in mind, what should be the strategy to counter with? My opinion is that Kerry could be most effective by staying on the offensive, but at the same time, calling attention to the negative campaign of his opponent. Point out each time they bring up something negative as being out of ideas and out of touch and soon out of the White House. But the main counter is to put them on the defensive when they do their negative attacks. But do not let up in your own offensive. :)

1. Make it clear to the voters that bush has no intention of keeping his word
He needs to be sure to state his message clearly while mentioning that George W. Bush has no motive to keep any of his campaign promises.
Bush could not run again in 4 years and Cheney has no desire to run, therefore, once in office again, they can run roughshod over the rest of America, finishing off the middle class and stuffing the pockets of Hiliburton and other friends.

2. Outsourcing, overtime rules, minimum wage, jobs loss compared to a
large US city, health care lost...that's for starters. Main thing is to go on the offense - hard.
