the one thing i've heard about kerry's plan (to get elected) is that he's trying to keep a lower profile and not make a big hoopla -- he's trying to be a "small target" in other words. the more bombastic a candidate is, the bigger a target s/he is.
for that reason, kerry's not getting too specific. you can't shoot down plans that aren't being tossed out there. the problem is, if you don't toss those plans out there, no one knows for sure what they are.
so from that, all i can deduce is that kerry's campaign folks are counting on him getting MORE VOTES AGAINST BUSH than FOR KERRY. they're counting on the public not necessarily caring what kerry's plan is -- just that he's not GWB.
that's pretty sad for all americans when the main thrust of a campaign is "i'm not the other guy." it's pretty sad that they're COUNTING on the other guy to be viewed as so awful that folks will vote against him, not for their candidate.
we gotta do better.
