My Plan: Not to Be Bush

|

I understand why Kerry's answering questions about his plans with attacks on Bush, but I think it's an error. The people who are live in this election are already at least moderately uneasy about Bush, and he's got to do a certain amount of widening those cracks of doubt. But people keep asking Kerry about what he'd do precisely because what the doubters are now asking is: "Would Kerry do any better, even if we do thing Bush screwed up?" Answering by hammering on Bush and tossing in a vacuous postscript about "bringing our allies to the table" isn't going to ease anyone's mind.
