Frankly I think Edwards handled the Gay issue better than Kerry did.
1. Message: Bush is bad for the economy - outsourcing, tax breaks. Republicans do not hold a monopoly on patriotism. - Much better ads. Issues - The economy - Domestic security - healthcare - education
2. Vietnam is important, but because it forced front and centre to compare w/Bush - it opened Kerry up to the swiftboaters. In response Kerry should have come down like a ton of bricks.
3. VP Choice. I still think Edwards was a MUCH more effective campaigner than Kerry overall - Bayh would have been a safer choice.
4. Forget WV and the South.
5. Priority states. With special campaigners Ohio Pennsylvania Wisconsin Iowa Michigan ------------- Colorado New Mexico Nevada New Hampshire
Make token efforts in Florida, North Carolina, Virginia, and Tennessee and Missouri.
Have Richardson, Napolitano and Hart as Kerry's SW Taskforce.
- Establish a WarRoom.
