Another reason why the Bush communication team sucks. They could have imagined these tactics upfront and catch the Kerry trap immediately. But what do they do, they were defensive, took their sweet time to drum up their own supporters' claim. Thank god that we are not voting tomorrow, but time for the President to shake his team up real fast. whoever is managing the communication tactics and message better pack the bags now. Go to some third world countries and never come back here running any republican campaigns. The WH is still keeping McClellan as the spokesman, we have never had a spokesman so ill prepared for the job. Maybe dear scotty better not answering anymore campaign messages, just refer to the campaign communication czar to deal with the questions. LOL Where is Ari when we need him? Marlan Fitzwater was great too. Time to send Scotty back to grade school.

I'd like to know how they knew what was in the ads before they were aired. Someone leaking to the Kerry campaign?

***Returning from his tour of duty, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee testified before the Senate Foreign Relations Committee (search) in 1971, in which he claimed it was U.S. policy in Vietnam to carry out atrocities and war crimes.

A number of Vietnam veterans consider this testimony slanderous and say Kerry had to know it was false. They accuse Kerry of lying about fellow soldiers and officers to push a political agenda, and say his words dishonored comrades in arms at a time of war. "He knew as an officer that those were lies. It never happened," said Vietnam veteran Carlton Sherwood. "He was principally responsible for cementing the image of Vietnam veterans (search) as drugged-out psychopaths who were totally unrestrained and who were a murderous hoard."

After Kerry's testimony, military and independent investigations found that many of the soldiers who told Kerry and others they committed such atrocities were either never in the service, never in Vietnam or couldn't provide more evidence of those horrific actions.*** Source

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.

Why am I *not* surprised? Keep praying this fool digs himself a large hole and jumps head-first into it.

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.
What a suprise, who would've thought. /sarcasm off

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.
