I've been puzzled by the Kerry campaign's unwillingness to counterattack on the flip-flopper charge.  Tarring Kerry with this label is at least half of the Bush campaign's strategy.

This is less of a problem now, since Kerry said, "... I made a mistake in how I talk about the war.  But the president made a mistake in invading Iraq.  Which is worse?"  That was a good line.

But still, I sense that many undecided voters are  unsure that Kerry can lead America during this dangerous time as confidently, consistently, and competently as Bush.  (Yes, I know, I can't believe it either.  But that's what some people seem to think.)

Kerry needs a sound bite that takes out the flip-flop issue once and for all.  I haven't thought of that sound bite yet, or read any good suggestions.  But perhaps one of you has or will.  (The best idea I've seen is to show that Bush is a bigger flip-flopper.  But this fails to counteract the charge against Kerry.)

I'll set up a thread at my blog for your comments, or you can post here.
