It is remarkable. Kerry was so arrogant, that he thought he could get away with it. The attacks on W and the guard now make all the sense in the world. We didn't see those attacks much in 2000. But now they were needed. They had to scare the GOP into not going after Kerry's record. They really overplayed their hand big time and did not score any points. But now, the swiftvets have come to the rescue just in time. What Bush could not and would not go after, O'Neill and his comrades are going after.
Bush can piggyback on that attack, with an attack on what Kerry did after Vietnam --- his votes that showed he is not fit to be the commander in chief.
Swift vets should go after Kerry's VietNam years and the Bush team should go after Kerry's 20 year Senate career of being a left of Teddy, do-nothing flip-flopper. This two-pronged attack will seal Kerry's doom.
