The savage partisan attacks Kerry has been enduring appear to be having an impact. As one Democrat close to the campaign told the New York Times, "When you're basically running on your biography, and there are ongoing attacks that are undermining the credibility of your biography, you have a really big problem."

The thing that is going to sink Kerry is his behavior when he returned from Vietnam. The commercial with his own voice and those awful words are something he cannot run away from. It's devestating. None of his band of brothers can save him from his own words and actions. He has opened an old wound and it's not going to be pretty.

It wasn't enough for Bill Clinton to be a bad president, in his enemies' eyes, he had to be a rapist too. These are childish squabbles, not worthy of the great democratic traditions of this country, and can only be remedied by restraint and candor on both sides.

Hey Juanita, stop being so childish and put some ice on that!

And George W. Bush -- who is still being sued by the Associated Press for records related to his service in the Texas National Guard -- should do the same.

What records is the AP suing for? I thought W released everything except the medical records, and those he allowed the press to review.

As does Rood's telling the story only once, for his newspaper, and then refusing to answer the legitimate questions about his account.

Here's the contrast:

There's is something about the way Kerry handles himself that screams selfish opportunist, arrogant, elitist, lying SOS!

He is a phony, and I don't even need 254 SBV to tell me that.

Ultimately, it doesn't matter whether John Kerry was a war hero or a self-aggrandizer half as much as his views on the economy, education, health care and the war on terror matter.

In a nutshell, this is the Democrat's view of "character".

This may be the newest MO, BTW. So what if Kerry lied about his record. Everybody lies. What matters is his views on health care, blah, blah, blah...

The Kerry campaign may actually be toying with the idea of coming clean and admitting he exaggerated (if not outright lied) about his record and that he feels terrible about it. Then say "let's move on". If he did that, he would be the MSM's biggest hero since Clinton.

... to his starting his speech by snapping off a salute and announcing "John Kerry reporting for duty,"...

He didn't "snap off" a salute. I thought it was rather haphazard.

But my point here is that the first words out of his mouth were his name. Tell me there were folks in the audience who didn't know who he is.

This is just more of his narcissistic personality shining through.

A better line would have been, "I'm reporting for duty as ordered by YOU!"

The applause would have been deafening!

"We think the best route is for both candidates to release all their military records and be done with it."

Hell will be frozen solid before Kerry makes his 180 available. IMHO.

When/if Kerry is revealed to have put himself in for his own medals. It will be all over, a blood bath landslide against the RATS.

I can hardly wait, but I will not hold my breath.
