Maybe. You could well be correct, but there is a side of me, based on the prior history of Democrat tactics, that suspects that they have only been forced into unleashing a trick or two early. It is just extremely hard to believe that the top Dem operatives were stupid enough to think that they could overhype and make center stage Kerry's Vietnam experience and all the baggage surrounding it without taking some severe negative hits. Thus I wonder if this has been planned to sooner or later be in a position to declare that because "The Bush campaign has gone dirty" they have no choice but to fight back with suprise mega dirt(most likely minor, but enough for the media to completely misportray into a damaging myth.)
IOW, debute one of the DUI-style bombshells that they've had 4 years to uncover, develop, and fabricate enough pieces to sell a faux storyline. Create a 'both side are dirty'/'I don't know what to believe'/'I'm so sick of it' dirt quagmire.
Chris Lehane didn't take a 4 year vacation.
In relation to your theory on post 118, (dims knowing early on this would happen), I read a post a day or so ago regarding this very thing. That Kerry had wrote or called the retired admiral in MARCH, (Hoffman, I think) and offered him a reprint of his (skerry's autobio) to include lauding the admiral, instead of putting him down as in 1st edition.Since then, have heard nothing re this comment.
Anyone else?
If so, opens up all new questioning as to timing, hmmmmmm?
This is BRIBERY if true!!!!!
