DNC did their own polling and the strategy is peel righties away from Bush. Tonight's Reagan stem cell emphasis is right on the money.

There is no need to continue to hammer Bush. From a strictly pragmatic angle it is not efficient. Bush has high negatives, he didn't have a majority last time and all we need is a few righties to switch and we win.

Step one was an assault on the media to expose their bias and complicity. F911 kept this debate focused and had impact. Weakening their effect just in time for ...

Step two. Position Kerry as right on fiscal responsibility and stem cell research and defense.

Step three. Close the deal. Create the feeling that a Kerry victory is inevitable. Media is already fighting this one with weighted polls.
