Who Are You?

I think it is fair to say that John Kerry would like to be president. It would also probably be fair to say that his campaign staff are a bright bunch of people.

Why is it, then, that the Kerry campaign doesn't seem all that interested in really getting the word out what Kerry is about and what he would do if elected? The one complaint I've heard about the Democratic National Convention and Kerry's speech was that it/he didn't give any solid plans for what his administration would do (not just vague conceptual stuff, but actual policies and numbers). This is when Kerry had his largest audience of undecided voters looking for a reason to vote for him - and he blew it. I think this is why his post-convention bump was not as high as many expected.

It seems that the Kerry Campaign is counting way too much on anti-Bush sentiment to deliver votes. Big mistake. They really need to put together a picture of what John Kerry will do when elected. That is the way to the hearts, minds, and votes of the undecided.

Here's hoping they figure out how to really get his message out in the coming months.
