Kerry is considering delaying accepting his party's nomination in order to continue raising and spending money for as long as the Republicans will. The AP reports it reasonably straight -- this would result in more fairness than the current situation in which the Republicans have 5 weeks to spend primary funds while the Democrats are forced to use general election funds.

I emphatically support this idea.

John Kerry is considering delaying his acceptance of the Democratic presidential nomination at the party's July convention so that he can keep spending the millions of dollars that he raised during the primaries, The Associated Press has learned.

If Kerry were to delay acceptance of his nomination for a month, he would even the playing field with President Bush (news - web sites), who is planning to accept the nomination at the Republican National Convention five weeks later. The party convention would still be held at the end of July, but Kerry would officially accept the nomination at a later date under such a plan.

I've been worried ever since I learned about the timing of the conventions about this problem. I think that this is a fair solution and I like that Kerry's willing to think unconventionally [sic - teehee!] about it.

Kudos.
