If Kerry delays nomination GOP may seek equal time

[California Dreamer]

aww   the poor republicans are mad that they might go from having an overwhelming advantage in money to only having a huge advantage


...poor boys

Kerry's goal is to level the playing field.

If he does this than both candidates will have exactly the same amount from September 1 to the election.


It is 'fair and balanced'




The latest way they are thinking of doing this is to right into the rules that the nomination takes effect September 1.

[California Dreamer]

I believe the rules are "September 1st or date of nomination"

I know that you GOPers believe it is your god given right to have a gigantic spending advantage, but it isnt.

[California Dreamer]

my point is that I dont the rule mentions the 'convention'

which is why the Dems are planning on making their rules state that the nomination 'takes effect' at the same time as the Republican nomination, or Sept 1. Which is certainly in the spirit of the FEC.

Plus the Dems are going to get FEC approval before they do anything, so the 'break the rules' line wont work if the FEC approves the rule.

as I said...'fair and balanced'
