Interestingly, Harold Ickes (Was anyone ever named more appropriately?)was just on Linda Vester's show. HIS liine is that the Bush campaign scared the people into voting for President Bush. (This drew boos from the auience in rather large number.)

It seems to me that the Rats are trying to come up with an excuse, but every one they choose causes them to admit to another flaw.

First it was morals and values, and blaming the right-wing Christians. Then they realized that this wouldn't work because it sounded like they were admitting to immorality, plus it alienated the entire south.

Some of them then started talking about the Swift Boat adds, but that called attention to their sorry history with national defense.

Then Kerry starts saying that the electorate was scared of the OBL tape. The problem with this is that it calls half the country cowards.

So now Ickes is saying that Bush scared people into voting for him...apparently to try and convince the public that we were duped by evil Karl Rove and that is why we were scared. This one isn't going to fly, either, judging from the audience reaction to his statement.
