I think that the south is important and that Kerry should campaign in at least 6 southern states. (not counting Florida)
Kerry should communicate his message to North Carolina, Virginia, Missouri, Lousiana, Arkansas, Tenessee and Georgia. Send the message to those states that the Democratic party at the national level is NOT anti-southern and that their votes are valued to the ticket. I think those gestures are what will create some surprising effects on Nov 2nd and I think that showing that Kerry wants to bring everybody into the tent will firm up his lead in the Midwest. Bush has Kerry on the defence and polls keep jumping as to what states the ticket can't lose Penn, New Jersey, Michigan, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Washington, Oregon, and New Mexico. The best defence is a good offence - I just think it will work better for Kerry in the election than it is working for Bush in the war on terror.
