Another sign of how desperate Kerry's campaign has become: putting on a midnight rally. Like the folks in Ohio are really all that interested.

Another side of Kerry we are getting used to: his Attention Deficit Disorder. He can't stand letting anybody else have a word. I'm surprised Mommy Teraayyyza lets him stay up this late. I'm also wondering if the first to bail on Kerry will be Teraayyyza. When the ketchup bottle is empty, you gotta smack it on its bottom (not from me, some late-night comic, so save the Bronx cheers).

What should the whole point of this thread be?

For those of you whom John Kerry disparaged in Vietnam: DO NOT LET UP.

For all of us whom Kerry tried to thwart during the last battles of the Cold War: DO NOT LET UP.

For those of us who want our families to live in safety: DO NOT LET UP.

It's a lifetime in politics between now and Election Day. Treat every day like we are behind.

Edwards will try to answer Zell, fat chance little man......that whiny tone of voice won't work in politics like it did in the courtroom. Kerry doesn't have the decency to wait even one day, I bet the media spinds his speech as if it were something to behold.

He can blame his meltdown on global-warming. I think your right shes outa-there. Thank god for prenups. This guy could end up in a padded cell if the MSM desert him. Semper Fi.

Good analysis of the new Kerry strategy......

The Kerry Strategy

Word is that at midnight tonight, John Kerry will begin to "fight back" against the "negative Republican attacks" by contrasting his service in Vietnam with George W. Bush's Air National Guard service and Dick Cheney's "five deferments."

This is a colossal mistake.

The campaign George W. Bush is running: I'll kill the terrorists, unlike that wimpy, flip-flopping John Kerry.

The campaign Senator Kerry should have run: I'll fix George Bush's economy and you can trust me not to blow up the world.

The campaign Senator Kerry has run so far: I served in Vietnam.

The campaign Senator Kerry will soon be running: I served in Vietnam and George Bush didn't. Therefore, I'll be tougher on the terrorists than Bush.

By doing this, Kerry will make terrorism the central issue, not the economy. Worse for him, he'll be making the argument that he'll be tougher on terrorists than Bush. This will scare the bejesus out of voters who intended to vote for Kerry because he won't blow up the world.

Bush is already the scourge of tyrants, the Ground-Zero-bullhorn-wielding, UN-defying warmonger.

Kerry's best argument against Bush is that Kerry won't blow up the world.

By trying to appear tougher than Bush with military-record comparisons, Kerry will:
1. Squarely bring the focus to terrorism, overriding issues that naturally favor him.
2. Make it acceptable to question his Vietnam service and anti-war protesting.
3. Lose the battle on toughness. The Ground-Zero-bullhorn-wielding Commander-in-Chief will always be voters' first choice on toughness. Undecided voters will break for the incumbent in times of war.
4. Lose voters who'd vote for Kerry because he'd run a more "nuanced," "sensitive" War on Terror. Voters who're afraid Bush will blow up the world.
5. Lose voters for whom the economy is issue #1.
6. Make it difficult for down-ballot Democrats to win. All of the competitive US Senate races are in red states. Most of those Democrat candidates aren't Vietnam veterans. All of the Republican candidates, however, will be presumed to be tougher on terrorism.

So what prodded Kerry to this act of lunacy? Well, mostly the Swiftees. And the attacks on him at the GOP convention (remember the Purple Heart bandaids that some delegates wore?) By giving into his emotions, Kerry is throwing Bush into the brier patch, just as Bush wants.

Personally, I think it will come off like Dean's "I Have a Scream" Speech, but in this case it will be more like a "I am not a sissy!" speech....

Sounds just like a preppy pep rally:

Smashing party eh reg? Capital Winston. Say, I hope someone rembered to bring the wienies and marshmallows....oh!, not to worry Reg, we are them.

Hope Zell Miller doesn't hear about this. He might just fly out there and kick all their a**es. (freakin snots)

excerpt from kerrys speech to be given in ohio shortly:

[LewWaters]

He just can't stop wrapping his scant 4 months in Vietnam all around him, can he? He still hasn't learned that it's his claims of war hero status that is biting at his butt.

If this is a excerpt of his speech (and I heard the same thing), he can kiss this election good bye. This speech will simply confirm all the innuendoes that the GOP has been making about Kerry all week.
