border control? oh my...
the president is running neck and neck with kerry, and that is before any boost from the convention. it's hard to accept your analysis that they are trying to coax moderates back into the fold, as if they had left in significant numbers, when the moderate position must be strong enough to garner half the electorate already.
reaching out for more moderates? probably. a good strategy if you ask me. but i think you're kidding yourself if you think kerry is a significantly stronger candidate among moderates than the president.
