Killer lines in Kerry's Detroit speech
http://www.nytimes.com/2004/09/15/politics/campaign/15CND-KERRY.html?hp


"His is the excuse presidency: never wrong, never responsible, never to blame. President Bush's desk isn't where the buck stops — it's where the blame begins."


"He's blamed just about everyone but himself and his administration for America's economic problems. And if he's missed you, don't worry, he's still got 48 days left until the election."


"At that convention in New York the other week, President Bush talked about his ownership society. Well Mr. President, when it comes to your record, we agree you own it."

2. BIG improvement. Sharper,concise lines is what gets through to the sheeple
The new staff is paying off...BIG TIME.

I hope they use Bush's horrendous press conference in an ad where he couldn't think of a SINGLE mistake.

Bush is a PSYCHO.

5. Not so much as Kerry's closer attitude.
It's been said again and again. He's a strong finisher. He's used this strategy a number of times successfully. Play dead as long as you stay close and then turn it on at the finish line. He's a CLOSER! Go JK, Go!

P.S. Liar* IS a psycho...but we won't care much longer.

4. Carville influence?

Hard hitting one-liners. Good sound bites / headline makers.

BTW he was great on IMUS. Read the transcript when you get a chance!
