Bush will leave the campaigning to his people. A couple of nice lines from Racicot and an unnamed adviser: Marc Racicot, the Republican national chairman, said recently that Mr. Kerry "is going to have a hard time translating out of New England." Another Bush adviser said of Mr. Kerry, "He looks French." The article confirms part of what I posted to you yesterday: Message 18864850 If Kerry uses his personal funds, he is going to have decline federal matching funds. That might be the smart move for him. The Bush people, who will decline federal funding, are talking about raising as much as $250 million. Remember that if you take the matching funds, your pre-nomination spending is capped. Assuming that Kerry prevails amongst his fellow Democrats, he would probably be out of funding next spring. Bush would pound on him for five or six months and he would not be able to respond. That is what happened to Bob Dole in 1996.
