There is so much blog coverage that I'll just point you to a few must-read sites and throw in a few random thots. Do not miss this from Greyhawk, or this from Blackfive.
Seems to me that Kerry painted himself into a corner on 527 ads as he's shone a spotlight under the moveon.org rock and onto Podesta's shadow DNC ops, americanprogess.org. Yes, that Podesta, chief of staff for former President Bill Clinton.
Has Kerry's campaign missed Bush and gut-shot themselves by basing the campaign on Kerry's Vietnam service? Who the heck is running this strategery? Jeebus, someone's got a lot of 'splainin' to do.
The campaigns choice of spinners seems as ham-fisted as it gets...Joe Biden's not exactly Mr. Clean. Whomever let Tom Harkin off of the reservation should be promptly barred from future campaigns. Then Bob Dole forced the Kerry campaign to diss one of the country's most high-profile disabled vets.
Kerry's B team is even less credible than Dan Qayle. Kerry tends to go to ground (cuts and runs?) whenever he's taking serious PR or media flack....it casts serious doubt on his ability to lead under duress.
