Hello George,

I honestly think that Kerry is losing the election. Bush is going to come out of the Republican convention with a little boost and never look back. Kerry is defending and, if you are defending, you are losing. AND he is defending based on his military service where he has an incredible advantage.

He has to stop talking about the economy and health care and unemployment and go after Bush. That's the way you win an election. If someone is out of a job or can't afford health care, then Kerry probably has a majority of those votes. He needs to go after the swings and that means attack.
