[Behind Liberal Lines]

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

The current team does seem to have forgotten the strategy of the 2000 team, to wit, Horowitz's first rule in the Art of Political War: define your opponent first.

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.
