Bobert, if figures you would steal a Ronald Reagan line!!! :)

The changes that Kerry can make are a continuation of the changes Bill Clinton had made.   Listen to his speeches, check his website. The plans are there. They can be implemented.

I'm really not understanding what you are getting at with Goldwater. What "fundamental foundation" does he need to change? Goldwater left the Republican party in shambles and if he can be credited with anything, it is that the Republican party quickly realized it needed to get it's act together. They reorganized and turned their party into a cohesive unit that came back to win the White House. The Democrats have always been a bunch of loose cannons and it has hurt them. This year it has changed.
