I think Kerry is right on target and should delay accepting the nomination - the millions of dollars at stake will be worth whatever flak he gets -- which will come primarily from people who wouldn't be voting for him anyway.

I also hope the Kerry team will consider adding my slogan (okay it's really not mine, but why quibble?) to the roster.

And one more suggestion this morning (I actually think I have a fever so bear with me): rather than asking "are you better off than you were four years ago?," let's start asking "do you want to be here four years from now?" Doesn't that frame the discussion more accurately? And I'm not being figurative or symbolic; I really mean here - wherever that happens to be for you - in the literal, physical, concrete sense of the word. I mean it.
