I think Kerry's offensive vs. the Swift Boat Vets is going to doom him, he's opening the door to a whole area where he really looks bad, politically: Why put the spotlight on this:  http://www.opensecrets.org/

Re: bump
And here's why I take the position that Kerry is dooming his campaign with this issue:
http://msnbc.msn.com/id/5797120/ http://www.usnews.com/usnews/issue/0...n/30barone.htm http://www.usnews.com/usnews/issue/0...ion/30john.htm http://www.investors.com/editorial/issues.asp?v=8/23 http://www.nypost.com/postopinion/op...ists/27161.htm http://www.opinionjournal.com/editor...l?id=110005483 By making it an issue, Kerry is forcing the mainstream media to pick up and run with this story...which I believe would have dismissed and ignored it otherwise. Now, the old footage of Kerry speaking of Vietnam atrocities will be dusted off and shown and the issue will get turned up a notch. If he actually has trumped up his 4 months in battle, it's going to bite him in the ass.

Re: bump
nicky g
I've been following all this stuff really closely (The 527's) and soft money... The Swift Boat Vet's first ad that ran in select U.S. states had an "ad buy" of $550,000. They are currently running a second ad that cost somewhat less to run. Most of their publicity has come via online viewings of the ads. That $158,000 number was as of 8/23 - however donations to this 527 have skyrocketed in the past 2 weeks. Published reports have estimated that the SBVT have taken in $1,764,000 in the past 2 weeks...so they are on the move.

more problems
Continuing image problems for Kerry:
John Kerry on the Daily Show with Jon Stewart At one point, Stewart asked Kerry straight-up "WERE YOU OR WERE YOU NOT IN CAMBODIA?" Kerry just ignored the question. Why is it that Jon Stewart is the only person in the major media to even ask this question of Kerry in an interview? In light of Kerry's own words:

Re: bump
"That $158,000 number was as of 8/23"
So how did they pay for a $550,000 ad with 1ess than $200,000. Sounds like that figure was wrong when it was posted, and a lot more wrong now.

Interesting.
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart is the only media with enough balls to ask a candidate a direct question?
Hmmmm... When will some one ask Bush "When exactly did you choose to go AWOL from your National Guard Service"? Think we should hang around for an answer?

You can't deflect this issue by bringing up some stupid Bush AWOL stuff. That's not what this thread is about . I'm more interested in how Kerry's camp is managing this campaign, and how Kerry is dealing with Vietnam vis-a-vis his positions as a hawk (then dove) on Iraq. It's fascinating to me. I think they've made some HUGE mistakes very recently. This is more of a political science post than an "argue for your guy" post.
