Reply #8: Could it actually work to Kerry's advantage?

[bleedingedge]

Now I don't think the following scenario will happen and if it did, it might backfire

BUT..

One of the main rubs the Reps. have used against Kerry is the whole nonsensical "flip-flopping" issue, which they're using as a way of painting Kerry as a career politician who considers tactics before personal beliefs.

SO...

Imagine he stays outside the convention, refusing to cross the line, and says he stands with the unions and is proud to celebrate his proudest moment in the company of America's working men and women.

I, for one, would go apeshit. Man, that would be a moment. But then again, a lot of Americans any more have such a knee-jerk reaction against unions that it might work against him.
