“Let people have their power back, says Kasich. ”Run America from the bottom up.“ Power flows from the individual to the government, not the other way around. ”The individual is paramount in our society. There should be no individual to lord over other groups of people. Individuals ought to be in charge. We ought to get back to the days when we ran this country from the bottom up.“

Bush takes aim at Kerry February 22, 2004 US President George Bush's re-election campaign is preparing to roll out its first big advertising push to promote Mr Bush's record and to criticise Democrat John Kerry for shifting positions. The ad blitz is being readied for when the Democrats settle on their prospective nominee, which increasingly looks like it will be Senator Kerry. The March 2 "Super Tuesday" primaries may be pivotal for Senator Kerry and for when the Bush forces begin directing heavy fire at him. Republican campaign officials said the first ads would be positive looks at Mr Bush's "steady, principled leadership" in a time of change. About the same time, ads will appear examining Senator Kerry's positions now and comparing them with his voting record as a liberal Democratic senator. Bush campaign spokesman Scott Stanzel said: "Senator Kerry has a record of voting to raise taxes and to cut defence and intelligence spending, and we believe these are the wrong positions for this country." Meanwhile, Democratic US presidential contender John Edwards has outlined plans to use venture capital and tax incentives to support small business owners as he skipped through states key to his snatching the nomination from front-runner Kerry. Edwards, scouring Georgia, Maryland and New York for votes to beat Kerry in the 10 "Super Tuesday" electoral contests on March 2, also called on Kerry to meet him for three more debates in addition to one already scheduled in California next week. At a rally at a majority black community college in Largo, Maryland, Edwards focused on US President George W Bush's economic policies, which he says favours corporate executives who send jobs abroad over entrepreneurs who create jobs at home. "This president does not get it," said Edwards, who has also vowed to review NAFTA, which Kerry supported, and other trade agreements he also blames for shipping jobs to Latin America and Asia. "Unlike big businesses, small businesses don't take jobs overseas, do they? They keep 'em right here." "I know that I have the most comprehensive agenda to both protect and create jobs," Edwards told reporters later, asked if it set him apart from Kerry, a senator from Massachusetts. Finding the differences between the two leading Democratic candidates has become a major issue itself, as both steadfastly refuse to be seen attacking each other. More debates, as Edwards has suggested during campaign speeches this week and made formal in a letter to Kerry today, would also give voters greater television exposure to Edwards in particular, who has won just one primary. But Kerry, who has won 15 of the party's 17 electoral contests so far, has reacted coolly to Edwards' challenge. "I've always been somebody who's willing to, but let's see where the schedule takes us," Kerry said on CNN yesterday. "And I've got to do what I need to do to run my own campaign."
