I hope at some point (fairly soon) we can get off of the ‘Vietnam/warhero/warcriminal/gloryhound/liar’ subject and on to the more substantive issues of the campaign. If we invest too heavily in this theme for winning this election, then all it will take is the MSM digging up an old DUI or horrible divorce or petty crime or something tawdry on a few of the Swifties. (250+ guys from the ’60s and ’70s? You KNOW they haven’t all been angels.) Poof! All the testimony from the Swifties would be for naught.

I think Kerry could be defeated on the ‘traditional’ campaign issues. (I didn’t say it would be easy, but there you have it.)

My own personal opinion is that Kerry should be disqualified to be Prez based on his Vietnam lies and his disgusting anti-war activity. But I don’t think I am in the American mainstream on this, so I wouldn’t base the whole election on it.

Spread the word on the Swifties, tell the truth about Kerry’s Vietnam activities; but don’t dwell on it too long.
