The recent Pew Poll indicates John Kerry may have made a fatal mistake for his campaign when he boldly, yet foolishly attacked Iraq's Prime Minister. "The polling took place between 9/22 and 9/26, all of which came after Kerry supposedly launched his new Iraq policy (version 9.0). It looks like rather than reversing his slide, it may have accelerated it. Pew has a graph on their site which shows much more daylight between the two candidates than existed since the convention, and in fact may have reversed a mild recovery by the Democrats."

Ayad Allawi leads his country against terrorists who would surely destroy his life, yet John Kerry slaps him in the face, the one person we need as an ally. Instead of demonstrating the political savvy he needs to establish his coalition, Kerry makes it clear with his cold treatment 30 minutes after Allawi's gracious speech, that this partner in freedom is a fraud. How can anyone so seriously short-sighted have long-term plans for Iraq? He cannot. In fact, Kerry's ultimate flip flop indicates how unqualified he really is. Kerry possesses no vision for foreign policy and right now, that's a dangerous situation for Mr. Kerry and the United States.

I am very happy that Kerry's cowardly attack on Iyad Allawi (and Joe Lockhart's shameful disdain for courageous Allawi) has backfired. As we expected, Kerry's negatives have gone up putting him in a very uncomfortable corner. I hope that the debate this Thursday gives him the coup d'grace once and for all.

I think the "flip-flop" campaign is hitting home. Also, the undecided voters are going bush and MSM is making light of that; it's becoming a critical mass against Kerry.

Will bush reuse the "He could debate himself" line in the debate? I hope so, but it's a tough call since of the recent air play.

A few days ago I wondered if Kerry's latest version was going to put some distance between him and Bush.Apparently it has...just not in the direction he was hoping for.

Yes, yes, we all have to work and vote, we all know that, but come ON folks, let's get real. Kerry's cooked--i mean, just look at his face.

Querry and his lib advisors couldn't help themselves--when a republican says "white" their knee-jerk reaction is to say "black" because everyone knows conservatives are always wrong. It's the reasoning behind Bush's successful rope-a-doping these past 4 years.

That's what I was thinking, only one?

Attacking the Iraqui PM was a bonehead play, one among many. While I'm not super confident that Pres. Bush has the election, I'm thinking it looks pretty good right now.

At just the right moment Bush needs to pick up that issue and figurativel walk over to Kerry and bitch slap him with it. If Bush says something along the lines of "Allawi is under 24 hour threats of death for leading his country when others were too frightened, and you dared to call him a puppet," it will put Kerry so far on the defensive he will never recover.

I'm going to be hitting the train station with some fliers this coming week. I think the fact Kerry is back stabbing Iraq's PM for political gain is great fodder. Kerry isn't going to pull out of Iraq (which is what the anti-war/Americans wish) and want to become more involved, at least diplomatically, this isn't presidential in the least!

Kerry's fatal mistake was committing treason and betraying every soldier who served in Vietnam. All the rest is a continuation of his treasonous, selfish ways. All attacking Allawi did was convince people he hasn't changed a bit in 33 years.

Kerry's main problem is that he is such an insufferable buffoon that even the waning power of the old media can't save his cardboard ass like they did for BJ Clinton. Aside from vote fraud. These jokers aren't even in the game anymore.

The only strategy of the Kerry camp is to attack President Bush, which is not always a good idea, especially not the way they have been doing it, and especially if your candidate has nothing to offer but "nuance". It's good for the base who agree with him, but definitely is not the way to get to the undecideds, if there still are any.

Also, President Bush has been successful because he has been so underestimated.

Wasn't it the Pew poll that had Bush and Kerry practically in a tie last week?

Underestimated, exactly. The debates, I think, will help the electorate sweep away the garish portrayals of Bush by the liberal extremists.
