"John Kerry said, 'Send me'" - A winning theme for the election of 2004
Edited on Sat Jul-31-04 10:47 PM by JohnLocke
"During the Vietnam War, many young men, including the current President, the Vice President and me, could have gone to Vietnam and didn't. John Kerry came from a privileged background. He could have avoided going, too. But instead he said, 'Send me.'
"When they sent those Swift Boats up the river in Vietnam... John Kerry said, 'Send me.'
"And then when America needed to extricate itself from that misbegotten and disastrous war, Kerry donned his uniform once again, and said, 'Send me'; and he led veterans to an encampment on the Washington Mall, where, in defiance of the Nixon Justice Department, they conducted the most stirring and effective of the protests, that forced an end to the war.
"And then, on my watch, when it was time to heal the wounds of war and normalize relations with Vietnam...John Kerry said, 'Send me.'"
-- Bill Clinton at the Convention

How do y'll feel about this? I think this is a VERY powerful theme that could be vital Kerry's campaign if used properly. Am I crazy or not?

2. make a tv ad out of that part
by playing the clip of clinton saying that. it would be similar to the 3 minute ad where they play a clip of Edwards at a rally talking about kerry while they show various images of kerry.
