I kinda think a big group of people vote based on what kerry tells them he is going to do... like prescriptions and get prices for elderly that are competitive with canada. elderly vote kerry who believe him. next nev. and not store all the by product from nuke plants in their state... state goes to kerry. even though he supported the poject to move this stuff to Nev. earlier. cut taxes for lower income.. now that gets a lot of attention for lower income folks... teachers... take the master charge card and spend it as you like.. wow teachers vote for Kerry. tg we got independents who may spend some time to look into each promise on both sides and see if any substance and vote accordingly.

another possible scenario (apart from influencing the undecided) is that people who may have voted for Kerry may be so disgusted with him that they just stay home True. From the perspective of the Bush partisans, I don't see any real downside of hyping the issue as long as Bush himself keeps a little distance. It may get a few votes or a few Kerry voters to stay home. It's exciting for the core. And any attention to this distracts from real issues on which Bush may be vulnerable. But I don't see much upside, either.
