Why go after Bush on something that most people are not interested in

Actually, I was forgetting something. (I’m still forgetting it, sad to say . . . I’ve reached saturation point on political journalism.)

One part of the strategy here is to try to drive down Bush’s “honest” rating.

The point isn’t to convince people that he went missing for 3 months; probably most people believe that already.

The point is to convince people that he lied about it.

I remember reading another part of it . . . having to do with both sides being intensely focused on negative campaigning at this point.

I think it was in today’s WAPO. If I find it I’ll post.
