Despite denials that the Kerry campaign criticized the Bush ads, the Kerry camp did reach out family members of people killed on 9/11 whom they knew were supporters of Kerry and asked if they'd be willing to denounce the ads publicly. Those people were given the names of assignment editors at cable news channels and network news outlets, as well as talking points for them to use if they were interviewed.

Methinks that President Bush will trounce Kerry in November. We need to ignore the polls, and realize that they are neck even immediately after super Tuesday.
Mr. Bush hasn't even gotten on the offensive, yet. America likes a strong leader, and the president is just waiting for the right time.
If he'd started out on Dean early in the campaign (when the media were prophesying him to be the nominee) it'd been a waste of time, money and effort. Mr. Bush has been smoothe.
I think that the media was building Dean up to set a trap for Mr. Bush. The problem is that Mr. Bush didn't bite.

Nasty John the French Undertaker, personally endorsed by Jacques Chirac, is a weapon of mass economic destruction. He'll destroy the troops in Iraq, the War on Terrorism, & the U.S. stock market with all his negative talk and whiny-leftist-liberal sour-puss troop-bashing, Bush-bashing, America-bashing talk & personality.

A communication team must go thru the media to communicate, no?
If their paid ads are distorted, and speeches are not shown, are edited, and characterized in negitive terms, by the elite NY media, (which all local media use), how do they combat that?
Remember this by Dan Rather?
"Republican Ken Starr is investigating Clinton's personal life".
A sitting President sexually harrasses a 21 year old intern in the oval office, and the public re-electes him?
And Ken Starr is a hocus-pocus Christian pervert.
This media will not let Bush be re-elected, no way in hell.
And they control public opinion, not Bush.

Kerry is slimier and dirtier than Clinton...I am more and mroe convicned of this every day. While Bill Clinton's action were always about himself, Kerry seems to be a much more cold calculating brutal politician. I sense a level of arrogance and nastiness that I hope is exposed soon.

Scroll down toward the bottom of the page...
"TENSIONS BETWEEN THE KERRY camp and the DNC were exacerbated on Wednesday and Thursday last week when the DNC was attacking the Bush campaign for including four seconds of scenes from the World Trade Center terrorist attacks in the President's first campaign ads.
"The DNC is yapping about this and the Bush ads are running on every news station and on every nightly newscast around the country for two days straight. The Bush guys basically got full saturation from an ad that perhaps one million people might have seen on one of those cable channels had no attention been given," says a Kerry campaign staffer. "Then they put these spokespeople out there to talk about the ads who were just embarrassingly bad. The party guys did us no good."
"It isn't as though the Kerry people weren't looking to attack the ads themselves. Despite denials that the Kerry campaign criticized the Bush ads, the Kerry camp did reach out family members of people killed on 9/11 whom they knew were supporters of Kerry and asked if they'd be willing to denounce the ads publicly. Those people were given the names of assignment editors at cable news channels and network news outlets, as well as talking points for them to use if they were interviewed."
