Behind the scenes, both campaigns tweaked their stump speeches, advertising strategies and get-out-the-vote drives. In addition to Wisconsin, Bush visited Iowa while Kerry traveled to Nevada and New Mexico — all tossup states.

After spending weeks casting Kerry as a flip-flopping liberal in TV ads, Bush planned to close the race with a 60-second commercial designed to portray himself as a trustworthy, steady leader.

The high point, according to advisers, is a clip of a choked-up Bush addressing the Republican National Convention about meeting the children of slain U.S. soldiers "who are told their dad or mom is a hero but would rather just have their dad or mom."

2. Now he's exploiting the families of dead soldiers for votes?

That's perhaps more sickening than the 9/11 footage in his ads.

4. Oh yeah that's a great idea

Remind people that lots of children have lost their parents in this bogus war.

The Dem response to this stupid ad should be the one with the woman who lost her brother and Bush laughing about missing WMD.

5. Exploiting the people he got killed to further his own ambitions. (nt)

7. These monsters just wont stop

To advance their political carreers, they are soaking in the blood of the people who have died because of Bush's lazy incompetence.

They have no shame.

bastards.

8. "There aren't going to be casualties."

Maybe that's why photos of caskets are taboo, because * was wrong about there not being any.

9. bush; always standing on the backs of the dead for his own gain.
