The more they talk about this, the more oxygen is sucked out of Kerry's campaign. Kerry has to give some reason to vote for him and dummyed up docs that purport to reflect what some Lt. Col. thought about President Bush 35 years ago (but never wrote down) ain't gonna cut it. This might have had some impact if the race was close and they released this info on the Thursday or Friday before November 2nd. But they couldn't wait given Kerry's freefall over the past 3 weeks. So what this really is a sign of is that the Rats think the election is close to being over unless they can effect some immediate turn around in Kerry's numbers.
