Kerry Will Accept His Nomination...

If nominated at the Democratic Convention in Boston in July, John Kerry will, besides pointing out that he served in Viet Nam, graciously accept his nomination. By Golly, is this guy too generous and good to us or what? From a Yahoo story posted one minute ago...:

Bowing to pressure, John Kerry decided Wednesday to accept the nomination at the Democratic presidential convention in July, scuttling a plan to delay the formality so he could narrow President Bush's public money advantage.

He turned quickly to his backup plan, issuing a statement with a blunt appeal for campaign donations that could go to national and state party organizations.

Several Kerry advisers had wanted him to forgo the nomination at the Democratic convention in late July and wait five weeks until Bush accepts the Republican nod. That would give both candidates the same time to spend $75 million in public money set aside for the general election.

But the plan leaked weeks before Kerry had intended, causing an uproar in his home town of Boston -- site of the July 26-29 convention -- and among Democrats who feared that voters would view the tactic as too political.

Kerry had planned to wait several weeks before deciding what to do, but word of his deliberations leaked last week, forcing his hand.

"We believe it is right to start the general election on the same day as our opponents, and we will continue to explore every way possible to level the playing field against the Republicans' five week advantage," Kerry said.

I don't like Bush and the Republicans but I loathe Kerry and the Democrats. Once again, Kerry flip-flops over something as he holds his finger up to the wind...
