It may be too late for this, but if you know someone with a camera and some contacts, here's an ad for Democratic candidates nationwide I'd like to see.
(Open: Pictures of World Trade Center, burning, then fallen. Pentagon. Field of Flight 93.)
Announcer: On September 11, 2001, terrorists attacked America at its heart. Their aim was to make Americans afraid. The man behind those attacks remains at large, yet George W. Bush continues to use his image in his advertising, to keep us afraid.
But Americans are not a fearful people. Here is how Democrats will win the war on terror.
(Pictures of a succession of people, some ordinary citizens, some Democratic candidates, all behind local, American backgrounds. Don't forget to include some New Yorkers. And some soldiers. They all say the same thing.)
Line: I am not afraid.
(We can have some ad-libbing. I am no longer afraid, or I refuse to be afraid, I can't be made afraid, etc. etc.)
Close on DNC chair Howard Dean. (Partly because it's the law.)
We have nothing to fear but fear itself. My name is chairman Howard Dean, and I approve this message.
