George W Bush reached his 'high-water mark" on September 4, 2004 at 49.1 %. Four days later he was at 48.2 and today (ten days from that high point he sits at 47.1%. In spite of what the "liberal" media is saying this guy has gotten all of the support that is his to get.
Kerry was at his lowest point on that same date ten days ago (44.7%) and has climbed over the same time period to 46.5 %. Bush is slipping (2% over ten days) faster than Kerry's support is growing (1.8%) over the same period but the trend frm Bush to Kerry is clear.
Kerry still has work to do but can win this thing if he can secure those who sit on the fence about Bush. The undecided's are largely undecided about Bush, not Kerry. They know Bush and still are reluctant to vote for him.
Kerry must clarify where he is different from Bush on issues that matter to people-
Assault Weapons Ban, Health Care, Stronger Economy and how that strengthens us here and around the world, etc., etc.
He must also take his fight straight to Bush during the debates. He needs to be quick enough on his feet to have a Lloyd Bensonesque moment or two. He needs to come right out to the president and tell him, in front of the whole nation, where his policies have failed America and at the same time tell us what he will do differently.
Too many of us watched Micheal Dukakis go up in flames against daddy to let that happen again.
Please, Mr Kerry, Give us the campaign fight you promised. Run like you want it more than the other guy. The people who believe in you deserve a better campaign than you are fighting.
Try the "It's the Economy, Stupid" slogan again. You can even try a modernized version: "Hey "W", its the economy again!"
