2. This will be bad for Bush if God forbid Clinton dies. Why? Because a state funeral for a Democrat Pres will be free Democratic press for a week or more, taking the air out of the GOP bump after the convention. Kerry will be all over the media taking advantage of a tragedy. He will get the sympathy bump vote.

I disagree. The public has been overdosed on Presidential funerals since the week-long Reagan spectacle. No one will watch Klintoon's. The World Series is coming up.

There will be absolutely NO sympathy bump for Kerry--none, zip, nada--after his Medalsgate comes to the fore, as is happening today.

Vets are mad as hell at Kerry. I have many friends, vets who used to vote Dem, who are goingto vote for Bush in November. They are furious about the medals scam.

I agree with you premise of public not watching it, however it would be covered by the MSM 24/7 for at least a week or more, giving the Dems and Kerry free air time. Kerry will use it for his advantage just as the Clintons used tragedies for political purposes. The MSM would push this hard.

Medalsgate AGAIN??? What'd I miss?

(just warn me when his head is about to pop off--I want to see that!)
