As part of their "hope for a scandal" against Bush strategy to win, the Democrats are now simply throwing mud up against the wall, hoping that something sticks.

This is amateurish politics. Everyone knows, or will soon know, that Senator Kerry voted to use force against Iraq *months* before President Bush actually went to war.

Everyone will likewise soon realize that as an acting Senator, that Kerry could have written an amendment to insist on building *any* alliance into that vote for war...yet he offered nothing, no advice, no alternative, just his "Aye" vote to use force at the time.

These are slam dunk rebuttals to today's mud slinging. Even political neophytes can think far enough ahead to see the obvious counters to Senator Kerry's speech today.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: Senator Kerry's 2004 campaign will be used in future political science textbooks as precisely what *not* to do in an election season.

Didn't you know ... history for liberals began this morning.

Or maybe they are amateurishly throwing mud against the wall, full well knowing that none of this is going to stick.

Isn't McAuliffe in charge of all of this and aren't only two Kerry guys on his staff?
