Lately I find myself feeling the need to give John Kerry advice. He's slipping in the polls and I really can't say I want the guy to be our next president. But it amazes me sometimes how a dumb, unenlightened Hoosier like me can see things so clearly that seem to elude Kerry's campaign advisers. Last Saturday night, former President Clinton - before undergoing quadruple bypass surgery - called Kerry and told him he needed to stop talking about Vietnam and start talking about domestic issues. (That, not so coincidentally, is exactly what I told Kerry in my column of Aug.28.I suppose Kerry didn't read it, though.) Kerry decided that's probably a good idea, so now he's on a domestic issue - the economy.Well, not so much the economy.It's jobs. OK, here's some more advice.To run on a huge job problem, there first must be a huge job problem. And there simply isn't.
