I wish Kerry would make a nationwide election-eve speech
He has such a calm and reasurring way about him. I remember when candidates made election eve nationwide speeches, and infact, I think there was a time when the networks gave each campaign five minutes at the end of primetime to do it.

That's what I would like five minutes on all networks on the Monday before the election. Kerry sitting at a desk speaking in a calm way about why this election is so important--making his case directly to millions of people. His final summation.

I think it would be very persausive.

1. In 1976, I decided to vote for Carter when he spoke on the night before
the election (I had intended to vote for Gene McCarthy, the Nader of his day). Carter spoke eloquently of Democratic values and why it made a difference if he was elected.

I agree with you completely. An election-eve national address would be an excellent use of money.
