Actually, Mrs Olive, I have thought something similar to that.

You know when Repubs have used words to imply that Kerry is a "traitor"? Kerry should make the following statement: "To the next chickenhawk Republican office holder that challenges my patriotism, they had better be ready to back up their assertions with their fists!" Yeah, this one statement would do more to rip the "Southern Strategy" to shreds than a $50B P.R. campaign and two "Kerry for Prresident" NASCAR race cars....
