From NewsMax; WASHINGTON — Talk about a slew of early issue advertising. An online liberal group is spending a hefty $1.9 million on a two-week television commercial blitz to blast President Bush's Iraq policies in five states that will be battlegrounds in next year's presidential race. MoveOn.org will begin broadcasting the 30-second ad Thursday in major media markets in Florida, Missouri, Nevada, Ohio and West Virginia. The TV industry estimates that average viewers will see the ad about 10 times over the course of its run. Typically, interest groups air such high volumes of issue ads in the months leading up to an election. MoveOn is starting its ad campaign much earlier to engage people now, its founder said. "There's learning that has to be done early," said Wes Boyd, founder of MoveOn, which has 1.7 million members. "There's momentum that has to be built. That's not something you do by hoarding funds in a war chest and dropping it on advertising in October."
This election is going to be ugly. Bush better fight back in the media as best he can.
I can't say for sure, but he says adamantly, "no". But this part of the story is interesting to me. "The election is to a large extent a Yale affair, with Dean slugging it out with Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, class of ’66 and Sen. Joseph I. Lieberman of Connecticut, who graduated in 1964 from Yale College and from the law school in 1967. Holding up the opposition is President George W. Bush, class of 1968, and while he was a senior when Dean was a freshman, it’s unclear if their paths ever crossed.
Past generations of the families, however, traveled in the same circles. Bush’s grandmother served as a bridesmaid to Dean’s grandmother."
Small world!
I think you, woody, are a spotted owl. ;)
Get a life, or at least some perceptiveness. You couldn't be further from "spot on".
I can see you're someone with an open mind ; I can feel the breeze from here!
LOL!
Oh, you mean like this?

his body language
Are you the 'Doctor of Body Language'? How was Hillary's body language overseas when nearly every military man and woman acted like she had the plague? Tell us, oh Genius Body Language Fellow.
Or this?
And you know where you can stick that word "troll".
What I will "stick" is---I will stick by my statement that your posts regarding Howard Dean are portraying him as just the cutest sweetest guy you'd ever want to know, "not that he should be president or anything" but doncha just love him? And you're the only one who is saying so. You managed to jab anyone who posted disagreement.
Howard Dean is the one who needs to "diminish all the hate" but he'd much rather stir it up with his anti-war, anti-Bush, anti-tax cuts, etc.
I suspect not, though don't know for certain.
I've often wondered about this rivalry that seems to have begun at Yale/Harvard/whatever. It occurred to me earlier re: Gary Trudeau vs. GWBush. Now I wonder about this Dean guy vs. the Pres.
Heck, it wouldn't surprise me if these guys just resent the heck out of GW just from their college days. They seem so juvenile, some of them.
Just one other thing, arasina, you wrote to me saying that I am, "portraying him as just the cutest sweetest guy you'd ever want to know". I said (and the fluffy article says) positive things about him as he was in THE PAST! The PAST..............not now. The past.
He's a nut case now. Geesh! ;)
I remember a phrase out of jolly old England: "the playing fields of Eton".
I suppose the same could be said about the playing fields of Yale/Harvard/Vassar/whatever.
Old scores being settled on a larger scale, the world stage. Wouldn't surprise me.
No, no, no, no! I'm just alarmed at all this money George Soros ("I'll spend my whole fortune to get rid of George Bush") and his ilk are spending and going to spend against G.W. They are dangerous.
As far as Dean goes, he doesn't have a chance, and that's a good thing. I don't know where all this misunderstanding somes from. Oh well.
As I've said about a half dozen times on this thread, he should confine himself to SKI INSTRUCTION.
Yeah. Childhood fantasies, Trudeau and Dean. Anything's possible.
I suppose the same could be said about the playing fields of Yale/Harvard/Vassar/whatever.
Old scores being settled on a larger scale, the world stage. Wouldn't surprise me.
Wouldn't surprise me either...especially on the American stage concerning a couple of Mayflower descendents.
Ha ha ha, haaaa haaaaaaaaaaaaaaa
All the unpretentiousness of a used car salesman, or carnival barker.
