Kerry and Edwards MUST CAMPAIGN TOGETHER everywhere!

[NEOBuckeye]

Remember how Clinton and Gore campaigned everywhere together in 1992? Being "joined at the hip" down the stretch was dynamite for them, giving both Gore and Clinton an air of youth and vigor. The effect worked like dynamite against George Herbert Walker Bush, an aging man who seemed aloof and more concerned with the prestige of having his name associated with the office than actively campaigning to keep it for another four years. The contrast between Clinton-Gore and Bush couldn't have been more striking. Although Bush the younger, with Cheney, seems much more desperate to hold onto the White House this time, the lessons of the Clinton-Gore campaign could still pay Kerry and Edwards huge dividends, were they to implement them immediately. It seemed that they were going to follow this strategy from the moment Kerry chose Edwards for VP, up until the DNC. But since then, except on a few occasions, both Kerry and Edwards have generally campaigned separately.

Why???

Before the DNC, many people, even in the media, remarked on the Kerry-Edwards chemistry, mentioning how Edwards somehow gave Kerry a much-needed shot in the arm in terms of energy and charisma. It was a big boost for Kerry's campaign overall, with Edwards helping to create an air of youth, charm and vigor about the two men, and making Bush-Cheney* look like two stodgy, tired, grumpy old men by comparison.

Unfortunately, it seems as if Kerry's campaign advisors somehow forgot about this lesson after the DNC, and had Kerry and Edwards go about campaigning on separate paths again. But Edwards may as well be Gephardt, Dean or Clark stumping for Kerry at this point.

Bottom Line: The sum of these two men is far more powerful than their individuality. They need to be joined at the hip and taking those fearmongering old men Cheney and Bush* to task for everything they've done wrong these past four years, everywhere.

If any DNC or Kerry campaign people are reading this advice and use it, you only owe me a 20 point margin of victory on Nov. 2. I'm deadly serious.

1. Hey! I agree..if possible it should be

Kerry/Edwards together! They're a team, right!

Together, maybe they could get through the media blackout(seemingly)!

They do have chemistry..time to show it on the road, as you say,like before the DNC!

2. Like your name NeoBuckeye! Welcome aboard. I think it'd be too

hard to cover all the small towns they are getting to if they were stuck side by side. They will probably meet up here and there, but with only 8 weeks, I think they have a good strategy, get out there and talk to as many people as they can. Let's hope your home-state of Ohio wakes up and smells their civil liberties! Vote for the American Dream Team, keep American dreams alive, Kerry/Edwards.
