Unfortunately, I think they’re a day late and a dollar short with this one. These folks should have been there from the beginning outlining what the platform should be. And that is the krux of the problem, there really is no agenda or platform for Kerry to speak to. So they just hop from issue to issue, depending on the crisis of the day that Bush isn’t handling or created, then saying they’ll fix it.

You see, Bush is the incumbent, so Kerry has to offer something better than Bush, not just equal. When I look at the Kerry plan website, its full of ideas and very short on plans of how it will be done. For example, Kerry will create 2 million or so jobs in the first year….how? Where did this number come from? You would think that if this were factual, the business community would endose him because this means that if jobs are being created, consumers and business are buying, products and services are being sold, so money is being made.
