Candy Crowley said that he was going to take on the SwiftBoaters directly, and was going to emphasize what he did for them (trying to get POWs released, and legislation on Agent Orange)
I noticed CNN have these microphones in front of their mikes, probably so they dont pick up the cussing in the control room again
I really can't believe they are going after Swift Boaters directly. This will just give them more exposure and this will be the issue Kerry will hang his whole presidential run on. While Kerry is taking on these guys then the Bush campaign will be hammering Kerry on his Senate record.
Kerry will be getting fire from front and back. It is incredible how bad this campaign is being run. It is quite entertaining and quite funny!
That isn't going to get Kerry very far. First, no Swifties were POWs as far as I know and regarding the whole MIA-POW issue, Kerry has to face this story (from a left-wing author and published by the Village Voice):
When John Kerry's Courage Went M.I.A.
Senator covered up evidence of P.O.W.'s left behind — Senator Kerry may have been courageous as a navy lieutenant in the Vietnam War, but, alleges Sydney H. Schanberg, he was not so brave more than two decades later, when he covered up evidence that a significant number of live American prisoners—perhaps hundreds—were never acknowledged or returned after the war-ending treaty was signed.
