I wonder how the Bush Vietnam/Air Guard affects swing voters, if at all.

It's all "old news" that the media will recycle again. They are looking for something new. Josh Marshall just put it this way.

CBS has now gone live with its online promo for the Ben Barnes interview that is running tomorrow evening. But, as I noted earlier, that's not what the headline will be after the segment runs.

The big news won't be how Bush got into the Guard but how he blew off his duties once he got there. Again, new documents -- stuff that is clear and straightforward and apparently puts beyond any debate or doubt that the now-President blew off the duties that he said, as recently as this year, that he fulfilled.

son is looking forward to voting for Bush as a first time voter,

As a 1st time voter in the US, my absentee ballot is with the US embassy in Canberra, Australia.

I voted for GWB, primarily for 2 reasons :
- The man is consistent in what he says, even if I have disagreements on certain aspects.
- Even if the WoT is claimed by some to be a disaster, it is one that was created during his administration, so who better to clean it up ?

If the swing voters can vote for a draft dodger who demonstrated in Russia (Bill Clinton), they can vote for a man (GWB) who served in the NG.
