STOP THE DUMP-KERRY MEDIA HOUNDS

Listen, people. We have got to stop the hemorrhage of confidence that threatens to lose us this election. Repeatedly I hear media and pundits speculating on whether or not Democrats would like to dump Kerry as our candidate. This benefits absolutely NO-ONE except the Republicans and George Bush. If WE don't support our own candidate, what does that say about him? So he doesn't match my checklist or yours 100%? If he comes in above George Bush, that's good enough for me. The alternative is too bleak to contemplate. THAT MAN is a fraud and disgrace to the office, and the nation simply cannot afford one minute more of his ignorant, arrogant non-leadership than required by law.

Democrats must spread the word as quickly and as forcefully as possible to all reaches of the party: present an absolutely unified front to the media. Of COURSE we're not interested in replacing Kerry as candidate. Why should we be? He hasn't changed a single item of his agenda since the primaries, where he was selected overwhelmingly. He plays extremely well against George Bush, and he's steadily moving up in the polls. The key to this election is DEMOCRATIC UNITY.

The Republicans and the media don't know quite what to make of this newfound Democratic unity. They're suspicious of it; they think it won't last; they want to be on-scene to report the first fissures. Our message has to be presented consistently and with great insouciance. When the subject comes up, the Democrat being queried must laugh it off -- don't take it seriously for a minute! -- as simply a ploy by the Republicans and the media to try to get us Democrats to mix it up. Our position is that we've never been so unified because the nation has never been so threatened by its leadership; and John Kerry is exactly the man to pull all factions of the party together. He's a uniter. He's a man we can all trust. He gives us confidence that not only will we win in November, the nation will have a chance to recover from four years of inept, out-of-touch leadership that has resulted in disastrous policies at home and abroad.
