Craziness from the Democratic National Committee
I just got an email from the Democratic National Committee that reads like this:
"Bush Hits the Panic Button
"President Bush and the Republicans have gone into full-scale panic mode. They're already moving down in the polls, and with the selection of John Edwards as the next Vice President, John Kerry's campaign has been imbued with a fresh jolt of energy that spells doom for Bush's reelection hopes.
"George W. Bush himself has responded to Edwards joining the ticket by going to his home state of North Carolina to personally initiate the campaign of personal attacks against the next Vice President of the United States. That's the level they've already sunk to -- it took just one day after Edwards joined the ticket for Bush to go from zero to negative.
"But what else should we expect? Bush can't run on his record, and he's got no vision for the future. That's why he has done nothing but run a relentlessly negative campaign against John Kerry. And now he's got his sight on John Edwards.
The email goes on to solicit my financial support (which I will give).
But, if this note represents the actual thinking of the DNC, I am very worried. First of all, it's arrogant. Edwards may be a good campaigner, but, he is in fact less experienced than the folks running the Halliburton administration. Why should they be in "full scale panic mode" about him?
Second, it sounds like the DNC folks are underestimating their opponents again.
DNC, you're making a lot of mistakes!
--Kerry's still got all the charisma of a fence-post, even though he surely has all the media coaching money can buy. Why isn't he getting better at TV and sound-bites?
--Kerry reached out and grabbed the third rail of politics (abortion and morality). The sound bites made it sound like he was willing to compromise his personal principles to get elected. Why did he have to say this? If he did have to take on this issue why didn't he make his point more clearly?
--The Democratic Party is holding the convention in Boston. It's just navel-gazing narcissism to hold the convention in Boston. It should be someplace like Oklahoma City, Denver, Dallas, even Charlotte NC. Don't get me wrong, I like living in Mass. But, the way we do things here in Mass. is likely to make the rest of the USA think we're a little bit nutty. We have to win this election: why put the microscope on our eccentricities? Why not place the convention in a city where things will seem a little more main stream?
We have to win this one. Quit screwing up!
