You are correct. The Bush National Guard thing is defensive against the Swift Boat Vets.
Great strategy Dems. Your team is down 11 points with 7 weeks to go. Try to run out the clock.
Exactly, the Swifties probably have even more devastating stuff on Kerry, they Kerry camp knows it, and they are just trying to over saturate the Vietnam stuff so people tune it out, from either side. It's their only chance.
