Reply #24: Right. And apparently Kerry is a past master of this technique. [View All]

I forget where, somewhere I'd read about his last opponent speaking with frank admiration about the way Kerry thoroughly trounced him. which apparently involved holding back until a certain latish point in the campaign, letting the opponent whip himself into a frenzy; and then, after opponent's team had released their best shots, strolled in and annihilated them. It is certainly a technique that would make sense here, since, as noted, BushTeam is digging a hole all by themselves. Let this shit percolate for a while, maybe; it's not going anywhere, not really, even if it appears to take a back burner somewhere down the road. By around convention time, i think the shape of things will be much more evident. And BushTeam will likely be exhausted: i think from here on out it's bad for them.
