More "spin" from the Kerry camp. He just cannot accept that he lost the 2004 election.
There was no "slow response" to the Swiftboat Vets and POWs for Truth. The Kerry campaign went after them with everything they had. The problem for Kerry and the Democrats was that truth was not on their side.
Furthermore, the MSM tried to assist the Kerry campaign by ignoring the Swiftboat vets early on (the only media to cover their initial press conference in May 2004 was C-SPAN2). But that didn't work either, because their ads were too effective (and they cost $200,000 to make - pocket change compared to what the Democrats were spending).
Poor Kerry. He is a haunted man. He cannot accept he is a loser.

I look at Kerry and wonder how anyone could vote for him. Then I look at some of the things I ignore to vote for the people I do, and about all I can do is shake my head.

Not enough to spend? The man had Moveon.org spilling its spew throughout the whole campaign.
If he couldn't make it on that, it just wasn't making.

Kerry's biggest mistakes:
* a plan that consisted of having a plan
* John - whatshisname? - oh yeah, Andrews
* Mrs. Kerry
* looking like Lurch
* 20 years in the Senate without doing anything
* coming from same state as Kennedy, Dukakis, and Bawney Fwank
* being a general idiot

"Was it his campaign's slow response to the swift boat advertisements"
Kerry could offer no response to THE TRUTH. And the media advised him to ignore the Swift Boat Veterans, just like they were doing but in the end failed. Now AP is spinning a bunch of bull about it, as if we are all stupid and don't know the truth. What idiots.

By saying that frenchie should have "acted more quickly"
the phony fraud ratmedia is trying to say that frenchie answered the Swiftees. These mutts don't want to acknowledge that frenchie has yet to answer them.
At any time during Sept.or Oct. he could have gotten SEE-B.S. to give him a whole "60 Minutes" to counter the charges one by one. He never did because he couldn't. The scumbag still hasn't released his ENTIRE Navy record. All that is is a simple legitimate DD 180. Not the phony one he signed.

The GOP used Kerry's own words to support the contention that he flip-flopped on issues. And more money would have helped change his own words how?

He is still the same old spin doctor liar he always was. Remember how PO'd the Democrats were when they found out Kerry had 17 million unspent dollars from his campaign funds?
Everyone was asking then why Kerry didn't spend the money on voter drives, advertising, recounts, etc. for a final push at stealing the election.
They should be asking the same again as the frog tries to make us forget what an idiot he is.

He really angered a lot of people by keeping all the money that he did, Cari said, referring to close to $17 million left unspent in Kerrys campaign account after the election.
I wrote and asked for my money back, said Cari, who gave $2,000 to John Kerry for President Inc. and $2,000 to Kerry-Edwards 2004 Inc., the general-election legal fund. When you hold back $17 million, theres no way that you can say that I gave it my best shot.

Run sKerry, run!!
As I recall, most of the response to the Swifties was through 527 organizations. Supposedly they have been hobbled somewhat by the FEC. I'm sure they are working full time on finding loopholes :)
