Are you as impressed with Kerry's rapid response to criticism as I am

[DJcairo]

His spokespeople have a biting rebutal to every single charge leveled a the frontrunner. I have yet to read or watch a news report where the reporter doesn't offer the Kerry campaign's response. I think this is one area where Dean's chaotic campaign failed their candidate. Team Kerry was obviously prepared for nearly every one of these claims and have a large file of Senate votes and speeches to demonstrate that Kerry has an impressive Senate record and is not your average northeastern liberal.

1. Spin..

does not impress me.

[mikehiggins]

2. Just like Clinton's War Room

The other candidates have to play catch up with this one.

[PROGRESSIVE1]

3. I am very impressed!

Kerry needs to have a "media war room" as Clinton did. It's the only way to fight the Rethugliklan pundits like Tweety and Timmy Russert, both "A-Grade Mediawhores"!

4. A lot of the mud

has already been slug over the years, so I am not surprised that, being the most experienced with mud slinging campaigns, he is more experienced at fighting back.

5. He is prepared

Yo have to remember from the republican side, Kerry just fough all of the accusations from them in November 2002. From the side of other Dems. the one who is really attacking is Dean and since Dean has a habit of speaking without thinking and saying things witoug proof, he cn be torn down easily. Every day Dean makes an unpresidential ass of himself and Kerry need not say one word abourt Dean for more and moore votes to be siphoned from Dean to Kerry. It is his owm performance on the national stage in which one does not expect the kind of behaviosr Dean is exhibiting to occur I predict that after February 3rd, Deans polling numbers will fall and stay below five percent and that Sharpton may beat him in several states.

6. A good rapid response team

was key to the Big Dog winning in '92. It's serving Kerry very well now and if he gets the nomination, it will be invaluable in November.

7. I'll say!

It's been so rapid I haven't even seen the criticsm!!!

8. I've said it here before

Kerry is the MASTER of defense.

9. When Kerry says to the Republicans: "Bring it On" he means it.

10. When I saw this in my mailbox,

I said to myself, "Holy shit - he really means business with this."

11. Has he responded to this?

12. That is flat out stupid

I guarantee Kerry won't respond to that bullshit.

We're talking about an adult here.

[_Jumper_]

14. It is just an ethnic joke aimed at a small group. No biggie, right?

n/t

[KFC]

13. Hell yes. Kerry is nails.

I also like the fact that he doesn't constantly pop his nuts in public.

[NV1962]

15. No, I am not impressed by speed and vitriol

Quite the contrary.

I like speed and class, instead.

[retyred]

16. A short sweet on target response then attack

it's the only way to beat the right wing attack team, keep them on the defense.

Kerry's good at not letting it become an issue, he'll be hard to beat should he get the nod.
