If the press keeps hounding this, it is likely to break our momentum and put us on defense.
Unfortunately, the press is all over this- all channels today and more coming tonight. This is the time for all Republicans to demand Kerry's full release of records and tax returns.
I don't think so. I think that President Bush will not reply unless asked directly and he'll reply with the truth and do it confidently and there will be no story there. This may just be the chance for him to point out that he is the one who requested the files be put out there because he really has nothing to hide.
So, does this story still have "legs" or will it die back down by tomorrow? That is the big question.
The democrats have brought up Bush's service record in every campaign he's ever run. It had no legs then, it has no legs now.
Furthermore, isn't it funny how liberals blame Kerry and/or his campaign management for "allowing" the Swift Boat story to do damage?
The Swift Boat Vets' story does have legs (meaning there's some truth to it), and those legs are kicking Kerry's sorry ass.
