Reply #41: Something the campaign needs to seriously think about

[Carni]

Howard Stern has gained Kerry more voters than can be counted.

Now I know Stern's reputation and I also know a lot of progressives hate Stern's show and think he's a pig.

Regardless, with that said.

Kerry should appear on Stern's radio show IMO.

I am sure the Senator would be capable of steering the notorious host away from the pervert chat in a humorous way (and as much as Stern wants bush out of office I doubt he'd set Kerry up like that)

The way I see it, people who hate Stern are either already voting Dem anyway (and won't hold it against Kerry for appearing on Stern)
or they are such conservatives that they would never vote for anyone but bush no matter what the circumstance.

Stern's audience is a treasure trove of swing and independent voters that should not be ignored.

In addition an appearance on Stern would also help to neutralize the "aloof patrician" label that the media and the Republicans have been trying to pin on Kerry.

I wish the campaign would at least consider a move like this.
