Former campaign manager for Gore-Lieberman 2000 offers four critical tips to the Kerry-Edwards campaign

Donna Brazile has some advice for the Kerry campaign:

"Don't approach these crucial presidential debates like they are a Harvard-Yale Society debate. This will serve as Kerry’s chance to show voters who he is as a person. They will want to be comfortable with him. Kerry must come across like a next-door neighbor who is respected on the block. Smile. Lots of smiles and absolutely no narrowing of the eyes, sighs or glancing at his watch."

Good luck with that. I don't think I've ever had a neighbor quite like John Kerry.
