The Poodle has dropped the idea to delay accepting his nomination in order to raise more money, and will accept the nomination at the Democratic National Convention in Boston this summer. Apparently he actually thought this idea might work. The media is saying this was supposed to be a secret, that somehow Kerry was going to spring this idea before the convention. That story doesn't wash. What we had here was clearly the launching of a trial balloon. You get some flunky to drive the idea into a parking lot. If it dents too many fenders you step forward to denounce the idea and seize the role of hero. The Soufflé has spent his entire life doing everything this way. It's how he can be on both sides of an issue. Instead of actually making a choice and standing for something, he's for it all! Anyway, the Poodle had hoped maybe this idea might go through. You see, the sKerry campaign is far behind the Bush campaign in money raised. As soon as each candidate is nominated, they get $75 million a piece in taxpayer money to spend on their campaigns. That's it. That's all they have to spend. The Democratic convention is five weeks before the Republican one, so The Poodle is going to have to stretch his millions out over a longer period of time. While Kerry sits on his $75 million, Bush runs an additional five weeks with almost unlimited funding. Yet more proof that there is a God. As a Bush spokesman said, "Only John Kerry could be for the nominating convention, but against the nomination - before he was for the nomination." boortz.com
