Dick Morris tips the hand: "[Bush] needs to elevate the sense of threat"..

[VOX]

Dick Morris is being his usual supreme jerk-wad self, declaring that Kerry cannot win, is too liberal, etc. I expect this kind of bilge from the Clinton-obsessed Morris. But he tips the whole right-wing hand of cards by saying that * needs "to elevate the sense of threat so that his advantage as a war president begins to count..."

Question is, just how far will * elevate that sense of threat?

How Bush can destroy Kerry fast
The Democratic Party chose a nominee Tuesday who probably cannot win the White House in November.

In opting for Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts and turning down Sen. John Edwards of North Carolina, Democrats have broken from the pragmatism and moderation that dominated their party’s profile under Bill Clinton and Al Gore in the 1990s.

Their party has now moved back to the liberal extremism of Walter Mondale and Michael Dukakis that characterized the 1980s — with the same predictable result.

But now, Kerry is a fair and inviting target. Bush has to zero in on him and push him to the left right now. Whether Kerry ever consorted with Jane Fonda is beside the point, but Kerry’s voting record is not.

Second, while his anti-Kerry ads are running, the president himself needs to make Americans understand that the war on terror is still atop our national agenda. He needs to elevate the sense of threat so that his advantage as a war president begins to count.
