The truth is that JK is strong on defense and Bush does not actually want US jobs to go overseas but desperately neds to see jobs increase. The truth is also that Bush flip-flops a lot and Kerry been more consistent in his views than Bush, especially of late as Bush just did some major backflips on Iraq. The irony is that negative TV ads are usually completely untrue, so you can pick the weaker candidate by who runs the most negative ads. In this case that's clearly Bush. If jobs continue coming back that's good for Bush, but don't forget that unemployment is still way up since he took office. He had three years of job losses coming into this year and with the amount of his deficit spending he could hgave just hired 15 million Americans. Instead, he will be lucky not to lose less than a million jobs, down from a high of about 2.5 million a year or so ago. If Iraq stabilizes that's even better for Bush but the questrion will still be, why didn't he take the course he's finally taking now from the beginning? Why did he put us through a year of hell in Iraq by trying to go it alone? Why did he allow the chaos and high gas prices? And because of that blunder, hasn't he made us less safe, gotten many Americans killed and cost us an extra 3-4 hundred billion (including gas gouging) on top of his already mountainous deficit?
