Excellent K/E strategy - calling a lie, a LIE!
I'm am loving this new Kerry / Edwards strategy of calling a lie a lies. Edwards was excellent tonight on Lou Dobbs. "When they lie were going to say it's a lie" - paraphrasing, but that's close. Kerry did much the same in his Iraq speech. I hope they run with that strategy until Nov 2nd, and hit hard with it.

For far too long it has been considered bad form or some such rot to call a lie by the Bushies just what it is.... a lie! Good to see those days appear to be over. Just because the media can't bring themselves to be honest and do it doesn't mean K/E shouldn't. In fact, the fact that the media won't do it is why K/E must!

I had the good fortune to meet with MaCuliffe for dinner (with about 8 other people) last Janurary and he told us that they were going to hit Bush on his credibility day in and day out. I was so impressed I donated 'till it hurt.

But I was starting to wonder when this credibility attack was really going to begin in earnest. And thinking on it now, maybe this is the best timing for the massive credibility attack. It certainly seems to have shocked the press that K/E would be so bold as to pretty much flat out call B/C liars. If they had been doing it all along it might not be getting that much attention by the press, just when the voters are starting to pay attention.

I like the strategy and am very optimistic about our chances. What about the rest of you?
