Kerry's Ketchup & GWBush's Reach

Kerry's Ketchup & GW Bush's Reach

If the economy improves and rounds by November 2004 - with no other flukey events occuring, then President Bush is re-elected. Otherwise at its centering best the fall campaign will be a dogfight - matching again American Tribunes right down the middle. Middle America being at stake - one battle ground will be Pennsylvania. There, Mrs. Kerry may make a difference with her Heinz family connection. She was widowed by the aircraft accident death of her popular husband Senator John Heinz - of the Heinz food fortune. Heinz's politics were center-left often like one of his state's successors -Senator Spector - on all the mixed issues -spending, taxes, sexual rights and so on. If the election is close, and Kerry appears a likely nominee - she can make a difference there. Heinz was also business friendly. But the noination has to be won by Kerry. At this writing, Gov. Dean is calling for $700,000 in donations for advertising in Wisconsin's February 17th Primary. He needs a strong win or place finish to stay alive.
