#2 The ONLY thing Kerry can do now to save his campaign:

1) Sign the SF180, release the records.

2) Admit he made mistakes as a youth, and apologize for them.

3) Stop going after Bush and the Guard.

4) Retune the campaign: "We are looking to the Future" (with an unspoken "forget about the past") - the press will help here with the "New Tone" liberal conflatulent praise.

5) Actually put forth specific policies that could win people over from Bush's policies domestically - and completely ignore the current economic activity (the press will help him a lot here).

6) Be who he is: the Peace candidate - couch it in terms along the lines: to hell with the rest of the world, lets take care of America - let the Europeans deal with the crap they've allowed to fester by not helping us. Promise trade protection for "manufacturing and American jobs".

The "anybody but Bush" crowd will not go over to Bush, Nader will be irrelevant due to the "Peace" angle, and Buchannonites will be attracted from Bush to the Isolationist/protectionist stance

The current path has him impaling himself on the Vietnam stuff - which draws attention more and more to the War on Terror - which helps Bush a ton. It also encourages peopel to look back - which is something you do NOT want to do if you are Kerry with that voting record behind you.

He has to break away, get out on the lifeboat or he will be going down with the ship before he gets ashore.

I doubt it would win the election for him - but its the only way out that I see for him.

#4 Drudge is reporting that Clinton called Kerry from his hospital bed and told him to quit talking about Vietnam. Fat change. Like stopping the rain from falling.
