Longtime Democratic strategist Pat Caddell said Friday that if documents aired by CBS newsman Dan Rather Wednesday night turn out to be forged, as alleged by experts, the presidential race "is over."

I'm not so optimistic.

I have my doubts as to whether or not people will remember this one week from now (if they've even heard about it), much less in November.

Kerry had already hit the iceberg and was going down anyway.

From NRO, the Corner:

Just talked to a Bush strategist, who said: “Within seven days, this will be a 3-point race. There was no reason for the near-panic among Republicans eight weeks ago or so, and there is no reason for the euphoria now. No one is going to build a substanital lead in this race. It's going to be very close until the end.”

Look, I pretty much agree that Bush is in the driver's seat. But this mindset can lead to complacency. I'm campaigning like Bush is 10 points down. I want a blowout and a mandate. I want to see the lefties in the media lose it. I want long Bush coat tails for House and Senate seats. Let's keep marching on to victory!

I'm not so optimistic, either. I think at the very least this will cost Blather his job.

It's not that I see Kerry beating President Bush, I just think Kerry's run a crappy campaign, and that will be one of the reasons he will lose.

And where's that snake-rat-cajun James Carville in all this? Seems too quiet.

WRONG.

Anne Barnes was just on Hannity and Colmes. She is refuting what her FATHER said. She said he was mad at him. COME ON! This has Bill and Hitlary's footprints all over it. END OF STORY. It's too unbelievable not to have been fabricated.

Cue Rather vocal...

I believe I can lie.
I believe I can touch the sky.
I believe I've got a black eye.
I believe I can lie.

This RatherGATE episode is to distract from the fact that Kerry's campaign is SUNK! One of the BIG reasons that Kerry has tanked in the polls is because of the Swiftees killer ads!

You can bet the CBS and DemocRAT 'smear the President and National Guardsmen and Swiftees' campaign will be kicked up to a whole new level now.

FReepers are key in getting the word out about the righteousness of the SBVFT by exposing Kerry's FRAUD.

These Swiftee window stickers get the word out to the driving public, display public support for the SBVFT, as well as displaying the website address!

Carter was close with Reagan until the last weekend. The MSM wants a race even if there is no race. Don't worry and keep the heat on. Kerry can't do the deal.
