Kerry's "advisers" are in left field...Just 3 comments from this article...there are many such that are there to be made...
1) the first ad was $154,000....the 2nd one won't officially air until Monday.
2) He fails to mention that the "mainstream" media didn't even try to get information on the SBVFT...they weren't very hungry, it would appear.
3) If the rulebook says don't help someone sell their book, then WHY did the mainstream break their necks trying to be the first ones to get to interview any authors of the bash-bush books....i.e. John Dean, Al Franken, Wes Clark, Richard Clarke, Bill Clinton, Hillary, etc etc etc etc....
And I notice that he didn't even mention George Soros and his merry band of "buy a Presidency" men...
>>>>In initially holding back, Mr. Kerry's advisers noted that the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth had spent a relatively small amount of money on the advertisements, about $500,000.
What they apparently failed to calculate was the extent that advertisements featuring other Vietnam veterans, speaking coolly and directly to the camera, would become the subject of television news shows. That was all the more so because the advertisements and the book were released in August, a slow month when news outlets are hungry for any kind of news.<<<<<<<<<<
>>>>>A senior Democrat political consultant who is close to the Kerry campaign said: "I think the campaign was slow to respond to this. And with some justification. The rulebook says don't help somebody sell their book. But on this one, it just seemed to take on a life of its own."<<<<<< |
