Idea - Kerry should offer bush a fourth debate
Do it publicly and often and be insistent and forceful about it enough to get media coverage.

bush would refuse of course, and that alone would further weaken the illusion of him as "courageous" and would in addition further the impression of him as a coward.

at the same time, it would keep fresh in the public's mind that Kerry kicked his a** in the debates so far.

just a thoguht...

2. It's an excellent idea
And he should do it in a way that makes is obvious, without leaving any footprints, that it's really just a prank on bush* because they know he's never accept.

"We know how busy he's going to be in the next two weeks. He's got a lot of hard work to do, so we don't expect him to agree."

4. bad idea
those that want to debate the issues are generally thought of as behind and trying to catch up, besides it may backfire, all the pressure will be on Kerry, plus the campaigns will have to start negiotiating again and we don't have weeks to go through this again.

5. there already was a 4th debate
Bush already did the 4th debate/policy statement/rebuttal; he just forgot to invite Kerry.

7. It is a BAD IDEA
Read the 32 page agreement, signed by both campaigns. In the agreement, both sides AGREED NOT TO ASK for additional debates.

He's won three for three, no need to look like he is going back on his word to beat up on an idiot. Which he WOULD BE (both reneging and beating up on an idiot). And unlike weewee, he does not go back on his word. 86 that idea, it is a total nonstarter.

Here's something productive to do--call a country music station and ask them to play "I'm Takin' My Country Back." If they say they don't have it, tell them to download it, free of royalties, off of the web. I hate country music, but damn, I do love that song!!!
