Kerry just needs to keep a lid on Gore-like antics like those deep sighs and lockbox annecdotes. All he has to do is stay reasonable, rational, likeable to the average voter and let Bush implode all by himself (and with help from Kerry-stand ins) Kerry can over reach and get too confident. If he comes across as arrogant and superior then he's got a problem.

Government Refuses to Produce Wiretaps Between Bush Aide and Accused Terrorist by Tom Flocco WASHINGTON -- April 7, 2004 -- TomFlocco.com --Lawyers for former University of South Florida computer science professor Sami Al-Arian, under a 50-count federal indictment as an alleged terrorist leader, said late Monday that government officials have declined to provide taped conversations from FBI wiretaps which they feel will clear him, citing "the government has no duty to provide information the defendant already knows," according to an Associated Press report. [Photo] President George Bush and wife Laura in a photograph with Sami Al-Arian and family at a Plant City, Florida strawberry festival in March, 2000 as the presidential primary season was reaching its apex. Eleven months later in February 2003, Al-Arian was indicted on a 50-count federal charge, alleging use of an Islamic charity and academic think tank to provide funds for the Palestinian Islamic Jihad. At the time of the photo with Mr. and Mrs. Bush, Al-Arian had already been under FBI investigation and surveillance for six years. [Flocco Reporting Resumed] In June 2001--three months before the September 11 attacks, Al-Arian was briefed by Senior Presidential Advisor Karl Rove on Bush's faith-based agenda and other issues in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building next to the White House. The Secret Service requires White House complex visitors to submit a Social Security number and birth date for the purpose of undergoing a security check which would have revealed that Al-Arian was already under a six-year-long FBI investigation.
