I believe you are correct there. I believe the media is just getting started on Kerry. Bush they have done since he was running in 2000. He has been pushed, shoved, smacked and kicked by the media until there is nothing left in his background to report. Kerry has been in the Senate for 20 years and never been under the media spotlight until now. He is fresh new media bait!
Well...about the old stuff maybe, but the Kerry spinners are still going at him about his Alabama National Guard year. Podesta today threw out the line, " John Kerry was wounded 3 times in combat, and George Bush only has 2 dental fillings to show for his military service" Now granted, that Podesta joke does accidently acknowledge that Bush really was in the Alabama National Guard, but it successfully reminds voters Kerry was in Viet Nam and Bush wasn't.
But areafiftyone, Bush is vulnerable on Iraq. While Bush isn't allowed to use 9-ll to his advantage, Kerry WILL use the war, the casualties, and when he starts talking about the wounded bodies and minds, the lives changed forever, it's going to be rough.
CNN does a segment on Walter Reed wounded on a regular basis. I recently saw a report of a young female soldier, she had her right arm blown off, was undergoing therapy, and she talked to the camera, told how it happened, and she didn't know anything until she woke up at Walter Reed begging them not to cut off her arm. It was already gone. She talked about learning how to put on a bra, shampoo her hair, apply make up with just one arm. Heart wrenching stuff, I tell you.
