I agree, and thats a mistake.

Think of it this way. You are in a car racing down hill with 2 other people, 1 is driving and the other in the passenger seat, with you in the back. You are approaching a bridge that is halfway raised, and you have no brakes. The Driver says "Hmmm, I'll punch the gas to try and get us over the rising bridge."

At this point, you are worried. The driver sounds a little crazy sometimes, and not too good of a public speaker. Even though you don't like his plan at all, you don't feel you have any alternatives that have any less chance of killing you.

So the passenger doesn't have to convince you the driver is stupid and you might die, what he has to do is convince you that his idea (open the door, tuck and roll) is better for your survivial.

... ... ok then. My point is Kerry doesn't needs to harp on Bush's total failures in Iraq, education, etc, because most moderates and liberal conservatives already know that. What he needs to present himself in a way that the moderates and liberal conservatives feel comfortable with jumping out of Bush's wild car for.
