"They have in mind a TV spot using an old film clip of a Boston lawyer named Welch at a Congressional hearing, saying 'Have you no sense of decency, sir, at long last? Have you left no sense of decency?'"

Wouldn't that be poetic justice - using against Kerry the famous line employed against Joe McCarthy? Frankly, though, I'd advise against it. There could be a backlash against the backlash if W's campaign tries to exploit Kerry's gaffe too hard. I think the issue has done it's damage. Time to move on.

I agree with that. I disagree with the notion that Kerry lost the 3rd debate simply because of the Cheney daughter remark. Kerry looked weak and pale in the 3rd debate. He had no energy and said a lot of goofy things that made no sense.

In the 1st debate, people weren't paying attention to what he said. They were looking for him to be "Presidential". That is, someone they could see as president. He walked like a president and sounded like a president. Once you get past that, his message is gobbledygook.

The problem with singling out the Cheney gaffe is that there have been so many other gaffes since then. Kerry's "ask me about my wife, I'll tell you about my mother" strategery didn't pan out. Also, Edwards' "Vote For Me and The Dead Will Walk" eulogy is something out of a creepy horror film.

Well, the problem is that it's a week old already.

The incumbent GOP are gentlemen...compared to the DNC.

The stories I'm hearing are disquieting to me.

You have to figure that Minoities, MTV, rock star bands, Michael Moore, Hollywood, and the Mainstream Media, Soros', Tv Hosts...encompass a helleva lot of people.

If they get more of their drones off their asses and vote...it might be close.

That'w why I don't trust the "likely voters poll. They don't figure 1st time voters....not the numbers Moore and Co., are begging for.
