Look at the frustration over at Judicail watch and the Kerry Medal Flap; its almost as if geology works faster

Not that JW was "wrong," but it is chasing a minor detail in the COmbat V on a Silver Star, etc. The response they got from the archivist was very predictable.

What breaks the story regarding Kerry's Vietnam record will be either the official documents that Kerry has refused to release, or a substantive two-sided public exchange that airs the SBVfT assertions, in detail, against Kerry's rebuttals, again in detail.

On the other hand, what breaks the CBS/Kerry/DNC coordination story does not rely on Kerry or his campaign being forthright. You might be right that the connection won't be established until after the election, but IMO, that is okay becuase GWB doesn't need that advantage in order to win.

Any chance of a leak of JFK military records? Or, if he has already signed the 180 for Brinkley, that O'Neill has the docs?

"You might be right that the connection won't be established until after the election, but IMO, that is okay becuase GWB doesn't need that advantage in order to win."

You're right,But if this scandle can hit the DNC full stride by Nov.2 swing voters just might take it out on the rest of the democrats on the ballots around the country.

Kind of like coattails but more like getting caught in the suction when the ship goes down.
