Even the Bush Campaign says 'Anybody but Bush!'
Did you know that 75% of Bush's ads aren't about him, but rather about attacking Kerry? Clearly Bush is not relying on his record or even a message (other than 'Kerry is bad'...my, that's inspiring). His negatives are high and his only real hope (and it's a good one) for election is to drive Kerry's numbers down while lighting a burning hate inside his supporters. Well it seems that the Reagasm has given the Bush campaign another way to talk about anything but their guy.
From The Talking Points Memo:
"A few days ago I noted a divergence between the websites of the two presidential candidates. John Kerry's website showed lots of pictures of John Kerry in all the expected poses of authority, empathy and so forth. Meanwhile, President Bush's website
also showed lots of pictures of John Kerry caught, as you might imagine, in poses suggesting buffoonery, arrogance, indecision and the like. What the GWB website didn't have any of was pictures of George W. Bush.
Now, earlier today I noted how the Bush campaign has replaced the front page of their website with a Reagan tribute, with a huge picture of the late president backgrounded with flags, accompanied by links to a Reagan tribute video, links to President Reagan's most famous speeches and statement of his praise for President Reagan by President Bush. "
one word him: lame.

well, my real point isn't that he has a neg. campaign, it is that his numbers and accomplishments are so low that he will not have a 'build the Prez up' campaign but rather a tear Kerry down campaign. My tone reflects that i think the GOP feels a little too free to do the political scortched earth technique w/o getting a taste of their own medicine.
That being said, i was never a Kerry man. i never even KNEW anyone that was a kerry supporter until he 'got' the nomination. I could find you SHARPTON supporters before i could find a Kerry supporter. my opinion might change if he starts doing a better job or gets a good VP to help fill out the picture (i'm pulling for Clark or Richardson...Edwards I like too).
The most important thing to me is to defeat bush. I don't like what he's done to this country. i do not know of one aspect of life which is not worse after bush and that is my priority
