I can't believe it...
In his speech today, Chimpie finally referred to our next
president as "Senator Kerry" instead of "My Opponent".

Rove had to be the one who told him to do this. By never saying
the actual name would be disrespectful, even if only subtly.
Maybe it has backfired on them.

Either that, or the Dim Son is off the drugs and can actually
remember the word "Kerry".

1. He did it once in the last debate.
That caught my attention.

2. Emphasis on "senator"
Their new line of attack is "SENATOR KERRY IS A DANGEROUS LIBERAL! LOOK AT HIS SENATE RECORD!"

Probably a subliminal way to remind people of their new talking-point.

3. Sure it was disrespectful and don't think for one minute that Americans
didn't catch that.

4. My opponent is actually standard
It's my understanding that is fairly common to refer to your opponent as, well, your opponent. Why say their name and give them free "air time." If they want name recognition, they have to pay for it.
