Very true. It's a trap. If these veterans want to do this ad, nothing can stop them but Republicans need to move on. Attacking Kerry's record is the key. How someone could spend 20 years in Congress and be known for absolutely NOTHING is what will resonate with people.
I can't understand how McCain can say anything about the ad regarding it's accuracy. He wasn't with these guys.
If these guys feel so strongly about this that they are willing to open their lives up to public scrutiny, how can anyone - McCain, O'Reilly, Estrich, the entire slip-and-fall lawyer team that the DNC is dragging out - suggest that they cannot/should not tell their story. These guys were there and this is their version. One thing about vets, they look at things completely differently then Dick Morris' of the world.
I watched O'Reilly say out of one side of his mouth that "they have the right to say what they want" and then out of the other side condemn them for what they are saying.
I agree that his Senate record is so horrible that it's the place to be. But I don't see Republicans latching on this and making it a campaign issue. It just more fringe reporting that will play for a few weeks.
