Okay...I am a diary neophyte so please go easy on me.....
I have decided that Kerry/Edwards is going to win on November 2nd. I do not think it will be contested. I think the turnout will be overwhelming and that the "pundits" will be scratching their collective heads for days. This does NOT MEAN that I will not conitnue writing letters, making calls etc. but it has lead me to the next stage of thought which is: How will our fearless leaders (john and john) clean up the colossal mess that the Bushies are going to leave behind?
I do think our country is divided as never before. I think many people are polarized and in order to avoid what happened with the Clinton's we need to make peace within the electorate as soon as possible!
Now this is a very simple suggestion to a complicated problem but I think our guys should emabark on a "Unity Tour" of sorts.
I am a Gerogia resident and as a result Kerry did not come to the state once during the campaign. (Edwards has been here but rarely.) I understand this-time is money and they have to focus on the "swing states". But I think it is important for Kerry to acknowlede that even though states did not support him he needs their help to clean things up.
So, I think they should announce a tour to visit every "Red State" in the country. I know he will be very busy selecting his cabinet etc. but I think the symbolism of this tour would be important. I think it should be supported by the DNC and I think they should target those who supported Bush. Now I know the fundies and other right wing nuts won;t come, but there may be some who would like to see our new President and learn more about him. I also think it is important for him to involve the House and Seante members from that state no matter what party they are in. I think he will inherit an even Senate and his judicial appointments etc will go through easier with a little statesmanship!
