Shouldn't Clinton worry more about recovering then doing political talks?

Clinton won without stressing his Viet Nam record.

Clinton: "It is important that once you've started to lie, that you just keep on lying. Don't ever stop because once you do... then the people who believed your lies are going to vote against you."

Kerry: "So I should believe what I am saying is the truth?"

Clinton: "No! They should believe that you believe what you are saying is the truth. Stop being such an ass. It doesn't matter what you believe! Only what they believe you believe!"

Kerry: "Oh... I see... By the way, did you know I was in Cambodia for Christmas?"

Clinton: "Don't mistake me for one of those fools who believes a word you say."

It's done now. Smoke and mirrors won't work. People do remember. And now, with the Russia tragedy, we'll have reason to wonder about being sensitive, too, even more.

On another thread, I had urged prayer for Clinton while he is in surgery. He is really trying hard to make me retract that.

Greenberg's the only one of the three who has much political common sense. Carville is an improvement over Bob Shrum, but a trained dachshund would be an improvement over the idiot Shrum, so that's not saying much. The "brilliance" with which these guys managed Clinton's campaign wasn't due to great political smarts, but great zipper scandal management smarts.

Kerry's problem isn't his zipper, it's that he's trying to be two things: a Howard Dean anti-war candidate, and a Lieberman-esque pro-terror war candidate, at the same time. Carville won't be able to do much to help fix that problem, and even if he did have an idea, the odds are that it would be the wrong one.

Iraq? Loses more?

Domestic issues? Eventually he'll be asked for details beyond his usual statements that he's different than Bush.

I had the same thought:

Beslan hurts Kerry.

"Clinton told Kerry that he should move away from talking about Vietnam"

Too late.

Does anyone else notice, Kerry actually has no qualificatiosn to be President. He actually hasn't ever done anything substantial.

Now that his medal gambit gigolo bait is up for question, he may not even succeed with rich widows anymore.
