Small headline with link to democrats.org
Appeals to the base but big mistake for them.
Will be viewed as a cheap shot.
Yeah, yeah, what else is new? Will team Bush object, yes, will they do anything about it, NO!
THIS IS CORRECT. This is in DIRECT VIOLATION of the agreement between the campaigns. They are NOT to use any audio/video from the debates.
Leave it to the scumbag DNC.
I thought the rules stated that the parties couldn't use the video in comercials... I guess rules don't apply to democrats...

Interesting they can't seem to attack the substance of what Bush said. Or state clearly what John Kerry was trying to say.
Are you even paying attention to current events? The Bush team has been all over Kerry and the DNC. That might explain why they're leading in the polls, hmmm?
I had a feeling that they were going to do this.
But, who cares. Bush is a real person. That speaks volumes to what Kerry is: A person of all faces.
They are in violation of their contract.
Rove should exploit this.
I just watched it, and it is poorly done. Doesn't make Bush look bad. If this is the best the've got, it doesn't pass the global test.
I just called Dan Rathers to let them know about this, and to investigate. Think It will happen ?
This is insane. Are they trying to cancel the debates because the media said that Kerry won and now Kerry will look like the victor and Bush won't have a chance to make a comeback?
Bush was far too calm for there to have been any anger. They are barking up the wrong tree.
As a professional indiv & family counselor, I've seen "anger" more often than I care to remember. That was not President Bush last night.
What we saw -- and I've seen it, too -- is brow-furrowing, intense, serious reflection. It was deep reflective focus.
I'm certain.
The proof was Bush's line: "I'm a calm guy."
Although the unbalanced questioning and even a stupid, partisan question from Lehrer and discussion by Kerry of the question "Expanding on Bush's Lies" would've been just cause for Bush to become agitated.
It's WHAT they do, it's ALL they do..and they won't STOP....EVER!!!
Something tells me they got this idea from late night talk shows.
The President did terrible last night. He looked distracted and he looked like he really didn't want to be there.
He really needs some coaching.
Hopefully last night won't hurt him. I wasn't surprised in his performance.
Kerry lied so many times that it became a joke. Unfortuantely Kerry came across better.
This is just coming from someone who used to be on a debate team.
Hope the President doesn't lose any swing voters.
Surely most people have already made their mind up.
Of course, you can always count on them for being crass & over the top about it. And for that reason it won't work.
That video is funny.
I don't know why they put it up. It certainly doesn't favor Kerry.
And it doesn't show as much of GW's 'frustration' as it does his irritation.
