2. From what I heard
He'll be introduced by his dentist who is the 1 out of 5 who doesn't recommend chewing Trident Sugarless Gum after meals.

3. Perhaps he will forgo public financing.
It's been debated in other places on this board, and Joe Trippi makes the case for it over at salon.com .

6. I'm not sure... but I can already see the "Drudge" headline
They'll speculate on how a last minute change makes Hillary the nominee...

Oh wait, he already did that one.

:crazy:

Edited on Wed Jul-28-04 04:27 PM by RobertSeattle
"My fellow Americans, I want you to know that I have already confirmed that Dick Gebhaprdt, Howard Dean, Bob Graham, >>add others here<< and Wesley Clark have agreed that they are ready to be in my cabinet..."

10. he might challenge Bush to a series of debates in the manner
of the Lincoln-Douglas debates--with the two candidates asking questions of one another and before crowds in town squares of cities and towns in key battleground states.

11. That would be awesome!
It would never happen, but it would be great to force Rove and Bush to decline publicly.

13. That would be a fantastic idea.
Although I don't know how he could do it. Perhaps something like:

George Bush, you and I have both promised that this will be a spirited campaign, a campaign of ideas, a campaign about the issues that press our nation today. We ought to honor that pledge - we ought to take the idea of a 'campaign of ideas' to the next level. Over a hundred and forty years ago two men travelled the state of Illinois debating one another; these men were Abraham Lincoln and Stephen Douglas, two great statesmen of their time.

Let us follow their example! Let us go to those key cities where we are fighting for votes, and let's debate one another, not taking questions from a panel of pre-selected moderators but taking questions from one another in the tradition of the Lincoln-Douglas debate. Bla bla bla...

12. After all the BS in the media, people are going to be surprised to learn
that Kerry is not 'aloof' and that he is an inspiring speaker.

17. Radical change in US energy policy
we've seen this coming for a while. I think it's a campaign home run.
