some advice for kerry

[saintjohn]

from clinton's former chief of staff, leon panetta:

If John Kerry is to win this election, he will have to be much bolder about telling the American people exactly what he will do to make the country better. As a wise colleague in the House of Representatives once told me: voters don't care so much about what you believe so long as you believe in something.

President Bush has convinced voters that he believes in something even though polls continue to show that a majority believe that he is taking the country in the wrong direction. Mr. Kerry cannot win simply by complaining about where the country is going. He must show that he has a clear sense of what must be done to change course and to make the lives of Americans better in the future.
