Why would they pursue this now? Does Kerry think he might be Obama’s VP choice, or is he really worried about being dumped from the Senate in the fall?

Kerry needs to find a controversial, ripe target fast for demonization; that is how he wins elections anyway.
Swift Boats is his choice.
Kerry is up for reelection this year.
“Why would they pursue this now? Does Kerry think he might be Obama’s VP choice, or is he really worried about being dumped from the Senate in the fall?”
Bingo!
I was going to say the same thing. This is a trial balloon sent out to see if he can overcome the Swift Boat charges. Didn’t I see an earlier article today that the official swiftboat website and organization had been disbanded?
