How? They've been launching every salvo they can at Bush for 4 years. According to them, the only difference between Bush and Hitler is that Hitler cared about the environment. What on earth could they possibly say about Bush over the next few weeks that they haven't said already? What "independent" voter is going to emerge from a lead mine and say "Golly. I didn't realize there were questions about Bush's service in the National Guard, and the outing of Joe Wilson's wife is certainly troubling." If anyone has shot their wad too soon, it's Kerry and the partisan press.
Well I hear what you're saying, but that is exactly what they did in 2000 with the DUI charge, and it did resonate with some voters. Now possibly the press has used up all their stuff, but they are not beyond fabrication either. If it is disproved the day after the election the NYT can always print a correction on page B-9.
Understand, I'm just a nervous sort of CYA kind of guy. I actually think the Republicans are in an excellent position right now. The potential is amazing. But you never know...
