Don't take my word for it...

Wise political junkie William Safire has written a column that advises Senator Kerry. We are in agreement on several important points (See Free Advice for Kerry 1 and 2, below).

Among other things, we agree that Kerry should:

• Focus more on turning out his base. (I maintain that emphasizing the assault weapons ban and abortion rights would also appeal to undecideds).
• Avoid nuance at any cost.
• No more issues that have fallen flat thus far. Cut your losses.
