That would in their mind move the negative media spotlight off Kerry and on to Bush.
Painting Bush as an elitist would be a good move since they don't have any other issues for their candidate to run on.
The dims must be having baby cows that their plans have all gone haywire.
Now everything hinges on the debates for the dims. It must be a living hell.
TOO BAD
This is the 800 pound gorilla in the living room that everyone seems to be overlooking. The entire MSM and DNC begin a campaign that makes the Normandy Invasion look like a family vacation and we're to believe that this is simply a "regrettable oversight" by one man, Dan Blather? Puhhhhhhhleeez. We saw several newspapers and television programs go live the morning after the first shot (the now infamous 60 minutes episode) with their prepared talking points about "potentially damaging evidence", not to mention Terry McAwful and Tom Harkin standing up and loudly denouncing Bush's TANG "record".
This whole thing stinks to high heaven and there's a big giant plum waiting at the end for whichever reporter/ news outlet that has the balls to go get it.
All this makes CBS' "we were duped" apology meaningless.Everyone involved knew the documents were fakes and they went through with the charade because they shared the same goal, the removal of the President. For arrogance, audacity, and criminality Watergate pales before this criminal conspiracy, but no one cares.

CBS Steered Forged Doc Source to Kerry Campaign
In what may be the most damaging revelation yet in the Rathergate document scandal, CBS News is admitting that it steered the source of forged military records damaging to President Bush to the Kerry campaign.
In exchange for the meeting with Kerry communications director Joe Lockhart, that source - former National Guard Commander Bill Burkett - agreed to give CBS copies of the Bush records.
Story Continues Below
USA Today is set to report in Tuesday editions:
"Lockhart, the former press secretary to President Clinton, said a female producer talked to him about the "60 Minutes" program a few days before it aired on Sept. 8. She gave Lockhart a telephone number and asked him to call Bill Burkett."
"At Burkett's request, we gave his (telephone) number to the campaign," Betsy West, senior CBS News vice president, confessed to USA Today.
Late Monday, CBS said it was investigating the role of "60 Minutes" star producer Mary Mapes in setting up the contact between Burkett and Lockhart.
"The network's effort to place Burkett in contact with a top Democratic official raises ethical questions about CBS' handling of material potentially damaging to the Republican president in the midst of an election," the paper said.
Aly Colón, a news ethicist at the Poynter Institute for Media Studies, said the collusion between CBS and the Kerry campaign to damage President Bush "poses a real danger to the potential credibility of a news organization."
The White House reacted sharply to the Lockhart development, with Communications Director Dan Bartlett complaining, "The fact that CBS News would coordinate with the most senior levels of Sen. Kerry's campaign to attack the President is a stunning and deeply troubling revelation."

Here we have people during a time of war making up fraudulent documents to undo the POTUS - to try to get Kerry elected. Who are these people, why are they doing this, and what else did they plan to do. This needs to be investigated asap....every call traced, every meeting noted, and the timeline completed.
Oh what a tangled web THEY weave when first THEY practice to deceive!
Well, I knew it in my bones, but still - WOW. Just all above the laws aren't they?
Why would Burkett need help contacting the Kerry campaign when he already had Cleland's cell phone number?
Found it!! Very interesting.
"Are we to believe that the DNC didn't know ahead of time what was in those memos, and how they could be used to attack the president?
And the DNC DU crowd said Rove and Buckhead were in cahoots because others and Buckhead caught the forgery so quickly.
Hell, these dunces left the trail a foot deep and a mile wide right to their front doors..
See http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1222014/posts?q=1&&page=65#65 for Burkett's new story on how he obtained the memos. It gets even stranger...
