It's all a bunch of nonsense. Kerry has nothing to lose by taking this action. His base is still smarting over the spanking they took on Election Day. And they are still deluded in thinking they can pull this out somehow even though President Bush has decorated his Christmas tree and is prepared to be sworn in to his second term just four weeks from today.
Bingo!
This is just Kerry farting in the wind, his minions sniffing it up and declaring that it's Kerry's signal to begin the coup.
Kerry has extra $ to spend, apparently.
