"Guys, I am sincerely worried about Bush's new ad strategy. He is only doing positive soft-soap ads, full of generalities and no specifics, rather than attacking Kerry. He's also not responding to any of Kerry's attacks. Kerry is being very specific, talking about the 17% increase in health-care costs, etc., which could be easily responded to. If Bush keeps this up, Kerry is going to climb right back into this thing, mark my words."
I marked your words (as you suggested) for future reference. Please explain how you could became so wrong then and why anyone should pay any attention to your words now.
