Whatever you're thinking, Kerry, the Big Dog and half of K street...
have already considered it. They're working the angles & we're just not seeing it due to the fact that it's just not out there.

True or not? Do you trust 'em to make the right decisions, strategy-wise? It would sure make this election less nerve-wracking.

On the other hand, there's the transperancy issue which is a sticking point when the other guys act dodgy & secretive...

2. I'm not exactly sure what you're talking about
Are you expressing concern that every detail of the Kerry campaign strategy is not publicly available to those of us who sit around and worry?

8. I hear you
We can speculate all we like, but there's so much disagreement about what the right things to do are that you can drive yourself crazy.

I'll still speculate and mull over strategic decisions, but I'm trying not to worry. I thought Kerry was the right guy for the job from the beginning, so the fact that he's the candidate is some comfort to me. Do I immediately embrace everything he does? No, but I give him and his people some degree of credit for their political savvy and pray that they have their fingers on the pulse of the electorate.

What else can one do?

4. Yeah, that's it , we have to trust those who know more than us
what do we know? I want to stay here in fluffy pink cloudland , where I don't have to think about anything.

THAT's the spirit.

Great campaign, thus far.........

6. I trust them. Kerry has not given me a reason not to trust him. Until and
if he does, he has my full trust.

7. All those Inside the Beltway folks
sure were right about Iraq & WMDs.

Forget it...they live in a bubble, talk in an echo chamber, & sometimes I think they are clueless.
