My question is: What's coming next?
What's come out already is bad enough, but it doesn't quite explain the freakish hysteria on the left. Something else must be in the wings, and it must be devastating for Kerry.
Watch the second Swiftie ad. It's devastating. Kerry's picture testifying before Congress is in the background with a sound bite about US atrocities and a former POW comes on and says Kerry gave the Communists freely what they couldn't obtain from the POW's with torture.
Kerry's done. Kerry's testimony and Christmas in Cambodia story are no longer in dispute.
This is the interesting development. Kerry steps down.
THEN WHAT? The 'news cycle' on this Swift vets complaint really wasn't picked up in earnest in April and May. Little bits came out here and there. But it wasn't until they really organized themselves, got the website, and particularly hit the tilting 'swing' states with so much as a single tv ad, that the 'news cycle' of a few weeks on this, took hold. If it's about to result in effectively the dismissal, yet again historically, of Kerry, I'm not sure I like that. But whoever they put up, likely not Edwards, I'm sure there's enough to vote FOR Bush. And maybe THAT'S why the Bush Campaign is insisting on that approach.
If they send in somebody else, particularly after the convention, I think with the Bush Campaign educating people about ALL they've done in four years, that too might be enough to turn aside any new Dem challanger. I don't think it will be Hil.
