Maybe a dumb question: If Bushco scheduled their RNC to be a month

[Mayberry Machiavelli]

later than usual, in order to raise money longer as well as be closer to September 11, couldn't we have done the same thing? Played "chicken" with them on this issue? Instead of flirting with the "late acceptance" and then backing away from that?

Shrubco has certainly shown that their is no rule of conduct, written or unwritten, that they will respect if it gets in the way of winning. We don't have to be as bad as them, but we have to show an ability to do what it takes as well. I guess Kerry making a campaign appearance in TN during the RNC Band-Aid Ball is a step in this direction.

4. Yeah I heard places like IL had to "rewrite" their rules to allow Shrub

on the ballot due to his late acceptance of nomination.
