I am afraid this entire thing was a ploy to change the subject from the Swift Boat Vets to get the heat off Kerry. It took that story off the front burner.
But the seed is planted right? Tell me does this make sense, Kerry, Rather, Moore, McAuliffe, Carville, most importantly both the Clintons, they all know the playbook. There are statistics on this somewhere, which is why they do focus groups. The statistics are people pay attention to 70% of how one looks, 20% percent of how one sounds and only 10% is paid to what one says. They know this and it works just beautifully.

But the swiftees aren't finished yet!
Absolutely.
I took Swift Boats off the front burner, but this story is damaging Kerry and not Bush. It was a ploy, but it was a ploy that backfired.
