Kerry Unveils U.S. Defense Plan in TV Ad

WASHINGTON - Democratic presidential candidate John Kerry (news - web sites) calls America "a country of optimists" and outlines his plan to make the nation "stronger at home" and "respected in the world" in a television ad unveiled Tuesday.

The 30-second commercial is the first in a new round of advertising meant to explain Kerry's proposals on the economy, health care and national security.

Kerry will spend $18 million in June, a heavy amount for five months before the election, to run issue-focused commercials in media markets in 20 states — including GOP-leaning Virginia for the first time — and nationally on cable networks.

"We're a country of the future. We're a country of optimists. We're the can-do people," Kerry says in the new ad, which is filled with pictures of American flags, children, veterans and the candidate on the campaign trail.

3. Good. I'm glad Kerry is keeping it positive.

This is a good move, he's trying to define himself among voters, and it's about time. I hope Bush keeps up with his anti-Kerry bullshit...it will wear on voters in the near future.

5. Awesome! Taking it to Bushco in VA!!! Brilliant!

Now that's how you press an advantage. You don't go negative, you go positive, but start challenging your opponent somewhere unexpected!

Mark my words, VA will be in play!
