Note to everyone: Kerry is not finished. Bush's post convention bump is slipping away and we once again seem to have a race that is within the margins of error.
To win, Kerry needs to simplify his message and set down his vision for America in concrete and non-complicated terms (much like he began to do in his 9/20 speech). He needs to discipline himself and his surrogates to keep to these "talking points" and then continue to stress the errors and misleading statements of the Bush Administration. He should also continue to "soften" his image with the various talk show appearances, which have gotten positive reviews. Finally, he needs to win the debates.
Others have said it, and it is true. At this stage of the game, it is still anyone's guess who will win. It would be foolish (and while Karl Rove is many things, he is not foolish) for the Bush Campaign to assume they will win.
