Kerry Enlists Political Brawler (reunion of players from a failed Dukakis campaign)

Is this just a reunion of players from a failed Dukakis 1988 campaign ?

Dukakis had been forced to fire his campaign manager, John Sasso, along with political director, Paul Tully – both admitted to having orchestrated the smearing of Joseph R. Biden Jr. Sasso. ?Mary Matalin, says Democrats blamed Dukakis' stumbles on campaign manager Susan Estrich.

Atwater, Bush's campaign manager, had repeatedly vowed in public forums to "make Willie Horton Michael Dukakis's running mate."

"By the time this election is over," gloated Lee Atwater, "Willie Horton will be a household name." (This story was originally floated by the Gore campaign.) Now the Swift Boat Vets have become a household name.

1988-Time Magazine posed the rhetorical question: If Michael Dukakis was such a competent manager, why was his campaign so poorly managed?

Yep he really dilivered for President Dukakis didn't he?

[My2Cents]

Kerry doesn't do hardball politics well. He comes across as sour and mean...kind of Nixonian.

[Texasforever]

What is going to be funny is they are taking off the gloves because they think Rove has. Rove hasn't even swung at the YET.

[Howlin]

Susan was on with Brit Hume tonight; she talked all about how they are forming this "informal forum" where anybody who wants to can "contribute" to the Kerry campaign; she basically said that they were going to do it together to STOP them from doing it outloud on TV and in the papers.

She seemed genuinely excited, which made me feel a lot better because I can't remember the last time she was right about anything.

The Clinton people have control of this campaign now; Mary Beth and Shrum should start packing. And typing up resumes.

States won by the actual Lee Atwater are in blue.

States won by the "Democrat Lee Atwater" are in red.

[Howlin]

I love Rove's hat!

Kerry doesn't do hardball politics well. He comes across as sour and mean...kind of Nixonian.

Kerry is going to find out the difference between running nationally as opposed to Massachusetts.

September 6, 2004 -- **BREAKING** In Yesterday's Lies: Steve Pitkin and the Winter Soldiers, Scott Swett tells the story of a former VVAW member and participant in the Winter Soldier Investigation who states that John Kerry and others pressured him to give false testimony about American atrocities in Vietnam. After more than 33 years, Pitkin is the first Winter Soldier "witness" to file a legal affadavit regarding that event...

My name is Steve Pitkin, age 20, from Baltimore. I served with the 9th Division from May of '69 until I was airvaced in July of '69. I'll testify about the beating of civilians and enemy personnel, destruction of villages, indiscriminate use of artillery, the general racism and the attitude of the American GI toward the Vietnamese. I will also talk about some of the problems of the GIs toward one another and the hassle with officers.

Just hope I get to see more of Susan Estrich. She is soooo hot? Her voice just makes me melt.

Why does fox have this fur tooth frog on every night? I feel her husbands pain. His ears must bleed every single time she opens that pie hole.

[EGPWS]

John Kerry has brought veteran political operative John Sasso into his campaign, the clearest sign yet that the Democratic nominee intends to take off the gloves against President Bush.

Caulk up another injury, this time to a pinkie, to obtain another purple heart.

He is obsessed with it apparently.

[bt_dooftlook]

LOL - trying to hang Willie Horton around GHWB and Lee Atwater; Al Gore is the one who introduced Willie to an astonished America during the primaries...

GW has just brought Baker on board for the rest of the campaign and he will put a stop to that very quickly. That is as illegal as hell for her and the others to act as paid media while campaigning on air.

[kcvl]

Pat Caddell (Democrat) on O'Reilly tonight said that Sasso was the most dishonest person in politics that he has ever known. That's saying something since he said that he made John Kerry's first ever campaign ad.

[Howlin]

Well, how illegal is it for Begala and Carville to keep working at CNN?

That's who I meant. Look for a real stink from Bush's campaign soon. The democrats are so damned ANGRY they are making rookie mistakes.

[Democratshavenobrains]

That map is hilarious. How did Dukakis manage to lose his home state? Sadly, Kerry could get caught on tape raping a handicapped kid, and probably still win Massachusetts.

[ProudVet77]

"GW has just brought Baker"
This is great news. Jim Baker is one of the most astute people in the country. He could take on the entire Kerry campaign with one hand behind his back.

From the Globe article

On Labor Day weekend 16 years ago, with his campaign foundering and the Bush machine taking huge bites out of his support, Michael Dukakis brought John Sasso back to rescue his presidential bid. He lost 40 states.
