Kerry Warns Against Campaign Complacency

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry says his selection of John Edwards as his running mate seems to have injected energy into the campaign. Still, he recognizes the dangers of being swept up by the excitement of the moment and growing complacent.

"We're going to campaign intensely. There's not going to be any letup, and I'm very confident that the enthusiasm we are seeing is real," he said in an interview with The Associated Press.

Edwards, interviewed alongside Kerry, stopped short of saying he could help win the South for Democrats. The North Carolina senator had made that claim when he ran against Kerry for the nomination.

"I think we will be very competitive in the South, particularly in those states in which national Democrats need to be competitive to be successful," Edwards said.

3. He is absolutely right

Just this morning I was reading " 21 reasons why Bush will win" http://www.electionprojection.com/essay1.html

At the time it was written it was probably right to be so full of hope and optimism. So many things have changed since then, that the predictions are now embarrassingly laughable. Let's make sure we do not go down the same road.
