It's important to allow your opponent to dig a hole and then take the gloves off. Kerry dug the Vietnam Vet hole, now he's digging the 527 hole. He's like a gopher.

ARLINGTON, VA -- "This is a frivolous complaint that even John Kerry’s chief strategist has said they have no evidence to support. Real coordination is what John Kerry’s campaign has been engaged in with the Media Fund, America Coming Together, and MoveOn.org. The revolving door of personnel, coordinated strategies and overlapping fundraising between the Democrat 527s and the Kerry campaign is a flagrant disregard of the spirit and letter of the campaign finance reform law."

I don't see it that way. The 527's will be more advantageous to the l,eft than the right because they control the major media. For all we can brag, we only have FOX and I would NOT call it a conservative network. All that is left is talk radio and unfortunately that reaches less than 10% of the public. As long as the left has the medium to play Goebbels they will continue to outnumber us in attack ads and reaching the dumb 50% of the masses who's IQ is less than 100. We need to make inroads in media, not just starting our own networks but investing and taking over the ones that are already there.
