This was really interesting to read, as it made me remember every moment I had of worry, frustration, and anger since 2 summers ago when I knew instictively that Kerry would be the Dems' nominee. He was all they had to throw up against Commander In Chief Bush, and it's really good to find out how they decided to overplay that hand.
"Reporting for duty". I LOVE knowing Max Cleland is responsible for that embarrassingly cheesy line! Maybe soon enough we'll find out what else Cleland contributed to the campaign, via CBS. I'd almost bet the farm he's connected to the memo. And I bet by now Cleland couldn't get Kerry to accept a call if his wheelchair were on fire.

Was Cleland in charge of teaching Kerry to salute? (sorry.)
