These are the miscalculations I'm talking about. Not admitting that the strengths of the Republicans at this juncture - with the majority of the electorate - are security and defense and the response to 9/11, are the kinds of things that have backfired, as shown by the current polls. Admitting they are strengths and then addressing them as a means of taking them off the board hasn't worked either.

Yes, he'd have to withstand the accusations of fiscal irresponsibility if he focused on governmentally funded domestic programs but IMO I don't think folks care that much about it. And he could have countered with the high level of spending and deficits of the current administration.

So I am still not getting it. Why not focus on what is just about guaranteed to get you votes rather than what has been focused on so far in this campaign? It hasn't worked and isn't working.
