Kerry had a plan to deal wwith the Swifties. His plan was to let the media bury the story.

Any one remember this piece from "The Prowler":

COMMAND CONFIDENCE
According to a Kerry campaign source, senior campaign advisers tasked two Washington-based campaign staffers to vet the recently published Unfit for Command.

"The purpose was to compare what that book had with what we had on file from Senator Kerry," says the campaign source, who said that the research project developed more than 75 instances where Kerry's recollections, previous remarks, or writings conflicted with the book's reporting.

"We took some of the most glaring examples, like the Christmas in Cambodia story, and presented them to senior staff, and we assume that those things were put in front of Senator Kerry," says the source. "We haven't heard a word about it. All we were told is that it was being taken care of."

The campaign source said that the book was not considered a "serious" problem for the campaign, because, "the media wouldn't have the nerve to come at us with this kind of stuff," says the source. "The senior staff believes the media is committed to seeing us win this thing, and that the convention inoculated us from these kinds of stories. The senior guys really think we don't have a problem here."

Well, the senior guys are definitely out of touch with reality. The media tried to save you but a little thing called the internet and cable news did you in.

The media tried. And they'd still be trying except that Kerry couldn't handle the criticism and elevated it to a national story which he continues to keep alive.

Even the media can't save a bad candidate from himself.

"The senior staff believes the media is committed to seeing us win this thing, and that the convention inoculated us from these kinds of stories. The senior guys really think we don't have a problem here."

His senior staff doesn't realize that times have changed and the MSM doesn't have a monopoly anymore.
