Do the Dems feel it slipping away?

I seriously hope you aren't besmirching the manhood of male cheerleaders...

<Laughing ....too....much....going....to....pee....>

Not at all. (I hope I'm not provoking an explosion, Sofia!)

Kerry has eaten boogers as well.

This is a bipartisan problem.

But I don't think he was a cheerleader...

He was too stiff!

Maybe the campaign staff should fire Kerry and hire a candidate who is actually believable.



Furious Kerry orders shakeup


BY KENNETH R. BAZINET
DAILY NEWS WASHINGTON BUREAU

Sen. John Kerry is angry at the way his campaign has botched the attacks from the Swift boat veterans and has ordered a staff shakeup that will put former Clinton aides in top positions.
"The candidate is furious," a longtime senior Kerry adviser told the Daily News. "He knows the campaign was wrong. He wanted to go after the Swift boat attacks, but his top aides said no."

Campaign sources stressed that no one is losing a job at this point, but instead "proven winners" like former Clinton aides Joe Lockhart and Joel Johnson are being brought in to try to regain momentum for Team Kerry.

Many Democrats have suggested that an overhaul of the Kerry "message machine" is seriously overdue.

Johnson is now running Kerry's war room, and Lockhart will be both a spokesman and strategist.

"Nobody is going over the side, but some people's stock has gone through the floor," a source said.

Democratic insiders have been saying for weeks that communications director Stephanie Cutter and media consultant and strategist Bob Shrum are two top aides who need to be replaced.

But a second Democratic source noted, "The question is, Is it too late? Has too much blood spilled?"

The Swift boat vets have questioned Kerry's heroic service in the Vietnam War, poking a hole in one of the campaign's cornerstone selling points.

One source pointed out that shakeups aren't always signs a campaign is in terminal trouble. Last summer, Kerry replaced his campaign manager and went on to win the nomination.

The Kerry campaign previewed its fall strategy yesterday, saying it will buy $45 million worth of commercial time in 20 states through Election Day.

I don't know what's funnier; the original sentiment or pic!

LMAO

This part; not so funny. Neither Democrats nor Republicans have any business regulating what information is publicized. Michael Moore AND veterans (especially veterans for crying out loud) have every right to voice their opinions (right or wrong) and it's scary to me that anyone from either side would disagree. Please watch "The American President" and listen closely to Michael Douglas's speech about "Freedom of Speech."


Now I'm really LMAO

Kerry still doesn't get it. The swift boat issue has made it clear that Kerry has long put himself and his own ambitions above all other factors, including loyalty to those with whom he served, and his integrity as a Naval officer in manipulating information to get three Purple Hearts - one for each band-aid. He doesn't seem to understand the difference between the appearance of heroism and the fact of it. The fault here is with the candidate, not the campaign.

That's definitely a problem for male cheerleaders.

You'd have to have something for it to slip away, they have nothing so they have nothing to lose.

This is EXACTLY what the dems counted on. They figured there was enough Bush hatred that any dem could win.

I'm switching to Bush. John Kerry is a pathetic candidate. Most of my friends are voting for Kerry not because they like him but they hate Bush.

Keep patting yourselves on the back. Kerry and Bush are tied in the majority of national polls, despite the fact that Kerry is a 'pathetic candidate.'

Cycloptichorn

Well, he's fired his second string of political advisors.

Why do you think the big heavy hitters in the Dem stratosphere won't help him?

Prolly because they can't stop Kerry's rectal bleeding from Zell's speech either.

I heard he put in for a fourth purple heart for that too. Did you know he was in Nam?

LOL!

You ridicule someone who volunteered to go to that hellhole ? Says a lot.

Now, as ridicule goes, this is right up there with the best of them, don't you think?

Still laughing ?

it is slipping away
its is slipping away for the democrats. You can just tell after comparing the two conventions. I can't remeber anything outstanding about the democrat convention anymore and the Rep. convention has just started. except for laughing at that reverend Al sharpton, you got give it to these black revened politicians him and that other one who is just dispicable....whatever, I'm not saying its amazing but politically its kicking the crap out of the John Kerry. I think it has the right mix of anomisity and conviction to deraill Kerry for the time being, also his vietnam platform was too weak to launch himself from, as a result the PCF vietnam vet's have realy eroded his planned out fosade of hero status. there goal of putting him beyond the enemies he has created from his 20 or so years in the senate, by using another role of his, which was also full of enemies has totaly destroyed his character stature.

The Bush campaign is doing a helluva great job of keeping the dialogue about nonsense, which is critical to Bush winning the Whitehouse.

The difficulty for the Dems is that it's a lot easier to keep a dialogue at a nonsensical level than it is to raise it. After any statement your opponent makes you scream "Liar" or "Flip-Flopper" or anything else you feel like screaming.

The beauty of this type of campaigning is that headlines need to be short and this low-level discussion suits headlines and sound-bytes perfectly.

Most of America doesn't bother to get informed about the issues...they read the headlines and talk to their friends. And see 15 and 30 second commercials on TV.

Anytime the Dems have something to say about anything - you'll find another ad-hominem attack from the Republicans in the media.

"If this campaign were any more inept, Michael Moore would be making a documentary claiming Kerry's a Republican plant secretly controlled by Karl Rove and the House of Saud."
