What came first, the chicken or the egg?; What comes first, the message or the ads? -- Get your stuff straight Kerry; time is our enemy

The 9-12-04 Washington Post reports: "The Kerry campaign and Democratic Party officials face difficult choices in the coming days involving the allocation of millions of dollars of television ads . . ."

If the Kerry campaign could just be picking up support and momentum in the same degree and number that it is adding staff, we would be in good shape going into the debates.

Here's to saying for a final time time (at least I promise to try), Kerry, you're running out of time. Get your message straight.

The Post story entitled "Size of Battleground May Be Smaller Than Expected" is worth reading. It has some good news and some bad news for the cause. But one interesting tidbit I saw concerning reapportionment was news to me:

It takes 270 electoral votes to win the election, and four years ago Bush captured 271 to Gore's 266. Because of reapportionment, Bush's states are now worth 278 electoral votes, while Gore's are worth 260.
