Well, I do think the Bush team should have been more nimble handling the response to the 9/11 "commercials" protests, which took place after Kerry was the presumptive nominee...The commercials were *wonderful* but the response to the protest malarkey was too slow coming.

On the other hand, I am VERY pleased with what I'm seeing this week, especially V-P Cheney's speech. It caused me to think back to his convention speech when he said "Help is on the way!" He is such a great guy. My family went to see Cheney and Powell at a rally in CA two days before the 2000 election and it was a thrill to listen to the future V.P. and Secretary of State give speeches! :) (Of course, we never dreamed that Sunday how loooong it would take to know they were the V.P. and Secretary of State, LOL.)

If I was them, I'd never have even resonded to the whiners about the 9/11 ads. I'd have just said, "we stand by the ads, next question?"
