Bush's
campaign strategy. Bush admits that most people expect all of his campaign
efforts to be about blasting Kerry, and his advisors are now nervous that the

WASHINGTON, July 20 - Seeking to blunt any advantage Senator John Kerry of
Massachusetts might enjoy from the Democratic convention, President Bush's
campaign has planned a monthlong offensive that will blend criticism of the
Democratic ticket with what aides said would be Mr. Bush's first effort to set
out a second-term agenda.

Even as Mr. Kerry is being nominated in Boston next week, Vice President Dick
Cheney will campaign on the West Coast, signaling the urgency of the White
House's drive to stop Mr. Kerry from breaking the deadlock in the race.
Republicans are also assembling a squad of elected officials in Boston to offer
a running, critical commentary of the Democratic convention as it unfolds.

And on July 30, the morning after Mr. Kerry accepts the nomination, Mr. Bush is
scheduled to head to the Midwest for the start of what aides said would be a
month of intensive campaigning. They also said that after months in which Mr.
Bush has repeatedly attacked Mr. Kerry, the president would pivot and begin
offering ideas for what a second Bush term would look like.

Mr. Bush hinted at that shift in emphasis at an Iowa campaign rally on Tuesday.
The president, who is to speak again in Washington on Wednesday night and
campaign in Illinois and Michigan later this week, suggested that he might not
even wait until the Democratic convention to introduce a new approach.


"Oh, I know, you're probably here thinking I'm going to spend most of the time
attacking my opponent," Mr. Bush said in Cedar Rapids. "I've got too much good
to talk about."

The Bush campaign is shifting gears at time when some Republicans have grown
worried about Mr. Bush's prospects and concerned that the hard-edged and
expensive campaign he has waged over the past six months has inflicted less
damage on the Democrats than many had hoped.
