GOOD NEWS

I am glad we are keeping on top of things this time around.

Finally - a rapid response team doing the work that needs to be done to combat the left.

[oceanview]

its always a slow day in the war room - is this the war room that allowed the media to characterize Abu Ghraib as "torture" every day for 6 weeks while saying nothing? the same war room that allowed Cheney to be attacked over Halliburton without responding for months on end, to the point where his unfavorable numbers are so bad that people are talking about tossing him from the ticket? the same war room that applied these new restrictions on packages sent to Cuba, causing Bush's south florida poll numbers to erode?

[rhombus]

Oh yes, when Clinton had a "war room" it was for Defense against those Wrascully Wrepublicans. Sure, Sure. Bush's "war room" is to go on Offense. There's your media bias right there.

War Room
Gloves are off
Questionable audio feed
Ready to Pounce

Objective reporting? If this had been Kerry the language would have been:

"John Kerry, a decorated war veteran, knows more about defending the things he loves than most people. When duty calls, and he needs to defend his presidential campaign, he is not alone. A dedicated, loyal, and patriotic staff stands ready to point out chinks in his opponents armor. Through informative news releases, these loyal soldiers help spread the word about President Bush's latest public stumble."

[Alcibiades]

I guess the NY Slimes thinks that only the democrats should have war rooms. I don't recall many articles by the Times on Clinton's bimbo-eruption team. Of course one way to limit the damage Bush's war room could do would be for Kerry to quit flip-flopping on all the issues.

[longtermmemmory]

where? It seems they have backed off defining kerry and edwards.

These are two lawyers.

Kerry was BRIEFLY a prosecutor. ( I have even seen people who were prosecutors for less than a year claim it as a "qualification" decades later after being asked to leave. )

Edwards is a ABA, ATLA trial lawyer. Two left of left voluntary groups.

Forget teh gloves, go for political BLOOD.

Another liberal op-ed from the NYT, thinly disguised as "news".

[ServesURight]

One thing about Clinton, he knew how to play politics.

As such, the war room is the nerve center of what Democrats, and some presidential scholars, have called the most relentlessly negative re-election campaign in memory

Let's see. The Dems have the Whoopi hate-fest, Michael Moore, and moveon.org comparing the President to Hitler, and it's Bush's war room that is "relentlessly negative"????? Yeah, uh huh, ok NY Times....

[familyofman]

Does the 'War Room' know about the 'rope a dope' strategy that so many here seem to think is in effect at BC04?

[pookie18]

Heard Rush reading from this on today's show. He trusts this Slimes reporter.

[Tamzee]

Bush has "operatives" according the NYT... whereas I guess Kerry would have "campaign staff".

[George W. Bush]

Bush's operatives had somehow arranged for their own audio feed, they refused to say how, and were listening intently, ready to pounce on any opening for attack.

Hmmm...

VoIP setup with Fox News or other legit press person?

It would be interesting to know how they do it.

Well, both parties do conduct full-time intel surveilance of the other team with a war-room staff always ready to spin those faxes out.

This was also posted here: In Bush's War Room, 'It's the Hypocrisy, Stupid'.

Note the headline. It's not your fault that you didn't catch this: At some point between when the article was posted on the Internet and the Slimes went to print, the headline was changed to "In Bush's War Room, the Gloves Are Always Off".

I guess the original headline wasn't slanted enough against President Bush. I wonder what else they changed in the article....
