'Tis probably true, that most of the positions that the Kerry campaign will take on the issues of the day may anticipated, and most of the means of demolishing their reasoning, or justifications, or simply rationalizations, already exists. What the real caution should be directed at, is something like the "blindside" issues, similar to the DUI charges that were trotted out just before election day in 2004. Something that is sort of true, and damaging, and thrown before an answer can be composed and put out there.

For some people, winning isn't everything. It is the ONLY thing. Because losing isn't anything.

Unfortunately, when hollow men win, and they have nothing to propose and no real objective to strive for, the whole structure of society becomes a façade and a sham. Another target ripe for the picking by really ruthless raiders. It took a couple of hundred years to completely pick over the corpse of the Roman Empire. The US could be picked clean in a couple of decades.
