No question the Swift Boat Vets made a difference. But don't forget, they had to run prime time ads on the MSM. Even so, because of unfavorable media coverage, there were plenty of everyday Americans wondering if those guys weren't just part of a smear campaign. They'd have made a massively larger difference had the media given them the same kind of attention it gave to reports of Bush's National Guard history.
The book and the facts in it aren't likely to be part of a national ad campaign and the MSM isn't giving it a fair hearing either.
But I hope you are right and I am wrong.

Yes, that's a good point, too. There may come a time when conservatives have to sue to get their ads out. Which is fine. Imagine the hits the old media would take if a swiftboat group had to sue for its ads to be seen! Imagine the curiosity that would generate.

Here's an idea! Women need to start a campaign, "WOMEN AGAINST HILLARY FOR PRESIDENT". Can you imagine the money that could be raised nationally for t.v. commercials from women terrified of another Clinton in the White House?
The icing on the cake would be if Hillary's thesis can be unearthed and shown to the public. I heard Rush talk about it once. He has read it and says it's would politically damage and unmask Hillary if it ever 'got out'.
