"I have a plan" is a fine phrase, but he's holding on to it like a life preserver.

Bush had a plan, too, and subsequent facts didn't keep him from holding on to it -- hence the mess we're in.

I write business plans, and a good plan includes contingencies and alternate strategies constructed around possible changes in the situation. Maybe Kerry's plan is like that. I'd sure like to have him say so, though, rather than repeating simplistic phrases like his opponent.
