[Vision2020] New and improved headlines

[Art Deco aka W. Fox]

Dan,

I agree partially.  Kerry did not articulate clear plans to re-direct our 
efforts in the areas where the Bush Administration has went quite awry. 
However, I would not want to characterize any party in this election of not 
calling the other stupid or offering to sit down and talk in a friendly way. 
Both major parties are equally culpable.

In addition, the Republicans are far superior at managing all aspects of the 
pre-election process.  The Democrats and Independents need to learn from them in 
this respect if they are to be successful.
