I'm sorry...you mean they hadn't tried already over the summer?
KErry campaign figured the MSM was doing the heavy lifting on the negative campaigning. That way Kerry could be the guy on the white horse.
It wasnt enough. The GOP convention rebuted the phony MSM anti-Iraq war spin and told people, 'this is the war on terror, we didnt start it, but we will finish it - if you let Bush lead.'
Kerry had no retort to this - BECAUSE HE HAS BEEN IGNORING THE WAR ON TERROR. He doesnt have a position except "sensitivity".
So Kerry is reduced to bashing Iraq and spreading defeatism and gloom to 'win' that debate. But he CANT if he doesnt have credibility on the war on terror, since clearly Iraq is a part of the war on terror.
