"Lockhart would not have been smoked out yet by a fear of Burkett phone records being released. He admitted it before he had ever really been tagged for the call. There's something else going on..."
OR...he's deliberately sabotaging the kerry candacy for a Bush win.
I dont think they are done saboting the Kerry campaign. Everyone and their grandmother knows that Hillary is waiting in the wings for 2008. Kerry will absolutely not win in 2004 if she has anything to do with it.
Saw this on another web site where someone remarked that its interesting that Lockhart worked on a campaign where Clinton won 43% of the vote and looks like Kerry is on track to win the same % if not less..:) Telling words!!
"OR...he's deliberately sabotaging the kerry candacy for a Bush win."
It's possible, but there are two reasons why I think not. First, Kerry's candidacy is already pretty much in the toilet, why bust your own career for a long shot at further tanking it. Second, if you wanted to sabotage Kerry, there would be so many more direct and certain ways to do it. Don't you think these Dem operatives already know some things about Kerry that the Swift Boat vets are about to release, and maybe other damaging stuff as well? All they would need to do is leak some of those things.
I think this episode was about more than Kerry, I think it was a try by CBS and the DNC at sabotaging the whole Republican party, including and especially Bush. If you hit Bush, you hit all Republicans, and that's what they want to do.
Also, it's possible they're trying to keep it close, so that they can use that battalion of lawyers who can tie everything up in litigation, and also so that vote fraud can do its work.
Make the Republicans look bad, that's the whole rationale from here on in.
