So it's official, now. Yesterday was the Time poll -- today Newsweek has almost the same results. Is the election to be written off by Kerry?

In my view, Kerry has to do immediately, the following:

1. Criticize the Iraq policy in no uncertain terms.
2. Apologize for his vote.
3. Proclaim a quick troop withdrawal.
4. Talk about the widespread doubt regarding voter intimidation (Florida) and ballot rigging (electronic)
5. Ask for Bush's impeachment for lying to the country.
6. Declare a 5-year moratorium on immigration.
7. Sack James Rubin for saying he would have gone to war even if he had known WMD's were not there.
8. Hire James Carville and Paul Begala, the last successful Democratic consultants.
