Maybe between the Swift Vets and the convention, the Republicans are finding a backbone, but I think you may have a point about them seeing the vulnerable state of the DNC's media lapdogs and they are emboldened by it. Add to that the recognition that this is a critical election. We cannot afford to give Kerry the presidency to add to his list of fraudulently claimed honors. We are not willing to sacrifice our families and our future to this man's ego.
Makes me wonder if maybe someone's been showing old Lee Atwater footage at strategy sessions. Now THERE was a mongrel dog of a campaigner.!
