Josh Marshall (thehill) says: Step Back Kerry, let Bush Fall

In today's issue of thehill.com
columnist Josh Marshall (of Talking Points Memo) advises Kerry that he's doing well by giving Bush the spotlight right now:

So what should Kerry be doing? Many Democrats are complaining that he’s AWOL from the campaign, that he’s not making his presence felt at just the time when the case against the president needs to be made.

On the contrary, letting Bush have all the spotlight now probably makes a lot of sense.

Think of this battle as a prizefight, with both men in the ring. If you’re up on points and the seconds are ticking down in the final round, what do you do? Simple: stay out of the other guy’s way.
