Ideas for the Kerry campaign
Kerry called out shrubby to debate once a month, but he declined. Get Kerry to talk to John Stewart, Sat. Nite Live, etc have the dude that looks like Bush on SNL and do satire debates. The guy playing bush can make remarks like war time president, trifecta, etc and Kerry can talk REAL issues.

Also Kerry could make a humorous ad similar to this debate but use the monty python spam skit replacing a voice of bush and his bushisms play and then a few key Kerry statements. In other words - make fun of this joke of a president currently in power..

2. Bringing down Bush* with humor.
I like it. However, it might backfire, you know like "why isn't he showing proper respect to a wartime President?" On the other hand, I think Bush* should be able to laugh at himself by now.

3. Don't go on humor shows too early...
At this point the Satan's bush/chaney are trying to define Kerry. Going on those humor shows too early may give the enemy ammunition.

I like what Prez Clinton used to do. Clinton would have one-to-one rallies with the young people. He visited almost every college and university in the country. Through the power of youth, Clinton also won the adult vote. This is a Madison Avenue strategy: sell to the youth and you get results.

Chaney's poll rating: 30%. Hit chaney hard.

4. You are so right!
That's what JK is doing right now: addressing college students whenever he can. Dem groups are always on hand at these events to register voters and hand out talking points on issues important to young people!

6. Another ad idea
Chuck Hagel was on CNN the other day and called shrub incompetent and inept in some of their handling of Iraq. Put clips of that in an ad.
