The Bush tactic de jour appears to be to ask Kerry to do the unthinkable. That is to name foreign leaders that may have told him in confidence that they would like to see a regime change in Washington.

As if that's about to happen.

If I was Kerry, I'd reply by saying: "I'm going to have to work directly with these people in January and beyond. I can't be breaking the bond of trust we have now."

Then the impish side:

"Surely the sitting president knows how valuable secrets are. Shall I list them for you?"

What I am waiting for is for Bush to tell people why they should vote for him, rather than the other guy. So far, I haven't heard anything that makes me feel that Bush should keep his job.
