Burnin' the Trash
Although they seem to stretch the facts regularly, they get the "gets" that all the world's sleaziest publications want. They being the Brits (LINK). I'm possibly only making this worse by linking to it, but smears are best derailed with full disclosure earlier rather than later. Kerry's "alleged" affair is already feeling like a dead story. Especially when the NYTimes is reporting that Bush has other attack plans that will commence in the next few weeks (LINK). I would expect nothing less. Newt Gingrich has already carted out what I expect will be the Willie Horton line of this campaign - calling Kerry a "Jane Fonda antiwar liberal." Catchy.
The stories that are being written as post-mortems of Dean's waning days in Wisconsin are depressingly accurate, I must admit (LINK). Everyone expects that Kerry will win in a walk, and Edwards' numbers look to be rising somewhat. Next week will be a pivotal one for Dean's campaign. Expect quite a few surprises, given last month's head-over-heels turnaround.
