  •  If Kerry loses (none / 1)

    he will be the last compromise Dem I support.  

    Maybe if Kerry actually stood for something, he could use that to change the subject.  Kerry has about 3 days to end this Swift Boat story completely, if not, he is done.

    •  About 72 hours to abnormal? (none / 0)

      To paraphrase Karen Hughes' weirdly meaningless title.

      I'm quite literal, literal to a fault actually, so I naturally wonder why you choose 3 days?

      That would imply to the very literate that he's near a mortal wound, the thousandth cut cometh in 72 hours.  I think a first aid kit would do, perhaps a proactive sword that cuts first, but in no way do I believe he is as clueless and standless (how's that for coining a goofy word?) as you would indicate.

        Because that would make about 1 month where Kerry has been able to do nothing but argue whether or not he is a pathological liar. (Because that is the way that bush and Co. have successfully framed this - "He made up the whole Vietnam story!")

        And frankly, I don't think a Prez candidate can survive spending a month trying to convince people that he isn't a lying mental defficient lunatic.

        At this point in 2000, Gore was doing a better job of managing his campaign.

        The tone on this board reminds me of the tone on Blog For America on January 8th or so - complete and utter denial, and inability to even ACKNOWLEDGE that the campaign has hit a major snag that could spell the end.
