I notice that a lot of people on my side are a bit worried about John Kerry's relative obscurity since winning the nomination. I think this is part of a deliberate strategy to not get in the way of the President shooting himself in the foot. While they blow their load and use all the attack and dirty tricks they have, John Kerry is quietly raising money and making low key appearances. While the September 11th commission goes on, and new stories are released every day to the detriment of Bush's security record, John Kerry is traveling around the nation for both public and fundraising events. Now, in a few months when the Bush administration has completely blown its load and their best jabs, as well as possibly be forced back into fundraising mode, John Kerry gets center stage to define himself and put a magnifying glass under the spotlight left by 911 and so, and take direct aim at George Bush.

Face it, for having not been in the spotlight much, we have broken fundraising records, we have only slightly declined in the polls, and the anti Bush sentiment that has unified the party is still hard at work. We've got nowhere to go but up, and as the attack ads and new revelations on Bush prove that he has nowhere to go but down.

Isn't it amazing that while a congressional committee has to be formed to ask about why the administration lowballed their estimates for Medicare while John Kerry's health care plan is discovered to cost less than originally reported?

Meanwhile, President Cousin Eddie is touting his policies as the reason for the small burst in hiring in March. Last I checked, you're still pretty far in the red.

We need a law against single issue/uninformed voters. Someone I work with will not vote Democrat because he lives with the paranoia that John Kerry wants his gun. Not only is this stupid, but considering he works with me at a god damn video store, John Kerry would clearly benefit him, even if he did want his gun. Which he doesn't. We have let the republicans hijack issues for far too long. Why shouldn't we take them to task on issues where we come out on top? The environment perhaps? Fuel efficiency? Campaign finance and election reform? Energy Independence? You don't hear too much about those because no one will raise the issue. Even with all that said, I still think we are stronger on the traditional Republican issues, such as defense. Would you rather pick the guy that will think about stuff, or the reactionary. Religion? Last I checked, they don't make you register Republican if you go to church, and God didn't endorse GW. Jesus was a communist! If he would support anyone, it would be Nader or Kerry. It's amazing that the party that stands as far away from bible stances on some issues has taken religion for its own. Think about it..help your fellow man. Does that sound like a republican idea? The communist mantra is even included in Acts. If we could get the truth out about these things, the three people at work wouldn't feel so compelled to vote elephant without a second thought. If you all could see where I live, you'd see that there really aren't any people that would benefit from republican policy. So let's get out the word. The time is right, the energy is ripe.

Have a nice weekend everyone. Thanks for keeping us afloat for this first week of transition and format fanangling. Glen will be blogging beginning this weekend, for anyone that wondered where he has been.
