"Rendell cited the failure to respond quickly to the Swift Boat Vets, contrasting this with Bill Clinton's rapid response approach."

I've heard this argument repeatedly, but there was no response, quick or otherwise.

What could they possibly say or do to refute the Swift Boat Vets? The real reson they didn't respond to this is that they knew the SBVets were telling the truth. If Kerry had taken them on, he would have been utterly and totally destroyed.

Reminds me of what Dukakis said in 1988 when he was criticized for not responding to the Willie Horton ad: "what could I have said? It was true."
