You know what? You are seeing that Bush has credibility and that Kerry is joker. You are smart enough to look beyond "party" and see a person as a real person. Kerry, as you KNOW, is a joker.

In all seriousness, the "real" campaign begins in several weeks. That is when whatever bounce (if any) Bush receives from the convention decays to its equilibrium level, and we see how successful Republicans were at framing the agenda for the campaign.

Things to consider: Voters retrospectively evaluate incumbents and prospectively evaluate challengers. If Republicans can continue to poll better than Kerry on national security and can keep the campaign focused on Bush's record in that area, I think things go smoothly for them. The new proposals offered by Bush are really just red herrings; they likely won't influence voter evaluations of him.

I have to disagree
Some will be swayed, everyone wants something and he listed something for just about everyone

on another note
As for the economy, all it would take is a 60 sec spot, maybe a couple, explaining in laymen terms how the changing world has caused outsourcing and the resulting lost tech & manufacturing jobs in America. He touched on it but not at the level joe six pack can grasp..

This just in... the President is a marginally better speechifier than the challenger's (immigrant) wife.... news at 11.

This argument is weak and nothing more than name-calling.

Just wait til the democrats get ahold of the govenment, start expanding it, turn the country socialist..then you'd wish that you could have the CHOICE to listen to the republicans and not ENFORCED to listen to the dumbocrats. Look at the kinda stuff they wan't. If they get power we will be the next USSR.

The disturbing thing is that I think you actually believe this.

Why do people assume that if you hate Bush you love Kerry? I may be mistaken and Sandman will correct me, he's more a libertarian than anything, so how does socialism fit in there?

I'm not happy with either party and will reflect that with my vote in November, I'm not going to "protest" vote Bush, because I hate him almost less than I hate Kerry. I'm in Oklahoma so I hope there is a third candidate on the ballot, if not the president vote will be blank and the rest will be filled out. Neither of those will represent me and my viewpoints and I don't feel either one deserve my vote. I waited 20 years to vote in a Presidential election and this is all I get? A slow speaking Texan and a monotone monkey from Boston? And by god if Nader made it on the ballot and I didn't know in Oklahoma and he is the 3rd party, he's not getting my vote either.

Looking Presidential. Saluting an ex-serviceman in the front row, vs. a weak wrested salute to no-body in particular.

"Wheres my dog" look

Kerry was saluting his image as a war hero... A sort of selfish "Arent I great?" salute...

He's leaning down to salute someone seated lower than the platform:rolleyes:

Besides for someone you guys say never showed up for his military duty...It's still better than the "War Hero" did.
