"more indecisive than he was portrayed by the media.."
I rest my case
To: Cableguy
Kerry was both "cranky" and more indecisive than he was portrayed by the media.The media has a million excuses of why they didn't report these sorts of things. The truth is, they didn't want us to know before we voted because they wanted Kerry to win, no matter how nuts and indecisive he was, and how crazy his "wife" is.

To: Cableguy
Though they kept Teresa's sometimes erratic behavior out of their copy, when they were speaking among themselves . . . the reporters were increasingly vocal in mocking the candidate's wife." It is difficult for daily journalists covering a candidate to report on the personal travails and staff infighting that envelop most campaigns.
Notice how they showed so much restraint in reporting on Jack Ryan in the Illinois Senate race?
When it comes to GOP candidates, they not only report all the gossip, they go to court to reveal sealed records.

"I don't recall Democrats mocking Bob Dole's war service, so let's show a little respect for Kerry, too."
So you think their war service was equivalent? They both deserved their purple hearts?

I'll second your observation.
They couldn't attack Dole's service; he actually served.
At every turn though, Bush's record was questioned...the name dan blather rings a bell.

I think that what kept me together for the last few months was the categorical imperative , the cosmological impossibility of that Harpy Mama-T ever bein' First Lady. It just couldn't happen in this dimension. Thank you God for Lady Bush.

Not I. That would mean I would have to
watch the press for Kerry stories.

Shouldn't we know this kind of stuff before we vote? I think we sort of knew how things were going. Us Americans in Flyover can sense when things are not right even if Newsweek or the Washington Post haven't spelled it out for us yet. 60 million people voted for the President not knowing the 'full' truth. Not bad, eh?

Though they kept Teresa's sometimes erratic behavior out of their copy, when they were speaking among themselves If Laura Bush had some of the same "erratic behavior" as Teresa had it would have been on the front page of these rags the next day.

185, I think you hit it on the head.
There were a number of factors all laced together that gave our "W" the election.
However, from Terreeezzzaaa's entrance upon the scene -- with her nastiness and unseemly decorum, Laura did far more for the ticket than will ever appear in the statistics.
This is a subliminal, gut sense, but I feel this was a very substantial factor in garnering the female vote; especially in an election held during the Iraq War, etc.
