We've been told for the last week he legally can't ask them to stop. What changed?

Nothing ... but Bush can ask them to stop but he has no legal way to make them stop. Got love politics.

Oddly, O'Neill is for Edwards if memory serves. So I wonder if Edwards should ask O'Neill to stop - LOL.

When Kerry asked MoveOn to stop an ad. According to ODonnel from MSNBC it is part of the perfect storm Kerry needed to take the "high" ground on this issue. If that is the case it sure is awfuly interesting that just when Kerry needed a commercial to condemn, and not just any commercial mind you a commercial that attacks both Bush's service record and the SwiftVets commercial, convenient wouldnt you say?

If Bush called the SwiftVets and asked them to stop, or even publically called on them to stop, that could be considered collaboration. Bush did not ask any specific group to do anything - he just stated that he thinks all ads by 527's should stop, including Moveon, etc. He also called on Kerry to join him. Kerry won't, so he will be the one who looks like he is supporting the 527's.
