PITTSBURGH, United States (AFP) - The 2004 US presidential race shifted into higher gear as Democratic hopeful John Kerry (news - web sites) pledged to make America respected around the world once more, while President George W. Bush (news - web sites) took a swipe at Kerry's new running mate.


Both teams hit the campaign trail in earnest: Bush visited North Carolina and touched down in Michigan late Wednesday, while Kerry and his running mate Senator John Edwards (news - web sites) were in Pennsylvania and Ohio, and due in Florida Wednesday evening.


"Today we're embarking on a new journey together -- not for us, but for our country. A journey to make our country all it can be, to make it stronger here at home, and, once again, respected and influential in the world," Kerry said.


The Massachusetts senator was flanked by his family and Edwards's at a scenic farm owned by Kerry's wife, Teresa Heinz Kerry.

1. Just getting Bush out of office.....

will do loads to start regaining the respect the US has lost. As we've been told time and time again, it's not Americans they hate - just Bush.

2. Yes!

Regime change in the U.S. is what is needed. It's hard to understand why some Americans would want this idiot son of an asshole representing what America is all about!
