Zogby’s latest poll had Bush with 49 percent, Kerry with 42 and 9 percent undecided. Kerry had led 48 percent to 44 percent in the Aug. 3 poll.

August has not been a good month for Kerry.

"At the end of the ballgame, it's going to backfire on them," said Amy Schuler Goodwin, Kerry-Edwards campaign spokeswoman for West Virginia.

I can hear whistling. Is there a graveyard nearby?

This can't be right -- there was that article just yesterday that showed a massive West Virginia backlash! Of four whole people.

I don't think its the swift boats causing the problem, the problem is the RESPONSE! BAN< THE COMMERICIALS, BAN THE BOOK, SUE SUE SUE, BUSH BETTER CONDEMN THE ADS, THEIR ALL LIES LIES LIES LIES, ALL 254 VETS ARE LIERS AND KERRY AND HIS 12 ARE TELLING THE TRUTH! People see this charade and don't like it, they see Kerry as a sissy, crybaby since he has been questioning President Bush's service but now that his service has been questioned he is screaming foul. President Bush has said Kerry's service was good and he should be proud of it, but yet Kerry still is questioning Bush's service. Bush has asked Kerry to denounce ALL 527 ads and Kerry only wants to stop the ones attacking him... people see right through this sort of double talk especially when this 2 faced coward has had it both was since 1971

Kerry has disputed the truth of the ads, which are being funded mainly by a longtime supporter of Bush...

Known to be untrue by every casual observer on this board, as the Swiftvets have received over $1.5 M from over many thousands of donors. This factoid is an unchecked bullet point from a DNC fax. And these reporters write and report for a living. If I was so inept in my business I wouldn't last a fortnight.

The information related from rank amateurs on FreeRepublic is far more accurate, thorough and relevant than from these biased, arrogant and lazy reporters.

“At the end of the ballgame, it’s going to backfire on them,” said Amy Schuler Goodwin, Kerry-Edwards campaign spokeswoman for West Virginia.

Yeah, but not nearly as much of a backfire as Kerry making his 4 months in Vietnam the key basis for voting for him.

George Soros should donate $10 million to the Swift Boat Vets to make sure it REALLY backfires on him.

She called Bush’s refusal to condemn the ads risky and said they are “joining themselves with an organization that is surrounded by scandal and smear tactics.”

You forgot to mention that the ad is racist and will cause homelessness, homophobia, environmental destruction, trample women's rights and shred the constitution.

I think I figured out why this ad is so effective. Their only counter is "it smears veterans". As if Democrats are against smearing veterans.

I just can't believe an email poll provides accurate results. for example, when was the last time an MSNBC poll looked realistic?

... Amy Schuler Goodwin, Kerry-Edwards campaign spokeswoman for West Virginia.

Veterans are a large part of West Virginia’s voting population and both sides have marched out former military officials supporting their candidate. “Our West Virginia veterans don’t appreciate it,” Goodwin said of the ads.

Amy, please use your influence with Sen.Kerry.

Please ask him to sign Standard Form 180 to show us everything in his military record so we can get this whole thing behind us.

To a casual reader the headline implies that Bush is still trailing when the facts are that Bush has established a substantial lead in W Va. Look for this to be solidified during the convention.
