There is no focus here... Kerry and his surrogates are just lashing out in anger, flailing about like spoiled children. This will backfire. The more he whines and spews, the less presidential he looks. Kerry is (French) toast.
What you say is true. I know that Rove, Racicot, Gillespie and all of Bush's brain trust fully expected this reaction and are craftilly letting Kerry (Lantern Face) have enough rope to hang himself even more. Just watch and see the Bush campaign eviscerate the RATS even more. This is fun to watch.
