The Swift Boat liars did a lot of damage, destroying Kerry's lead going into the RNC. The Kerry-trashing at the RNC did a little more damage (though not as much as Republicans hoped, I suspect). But those are already fading, with more and more people starting to realize it was all political bullshit.

Bush*'s major problem is he has painted himself into a corner having to defend how "pleased" he is about how things are going in Iraq, even as the situation is clearly deteriorating. It's impossible, I think, for many people to not start noticing the difference between the news reports coming out of Iraq and what Bush* is saying. What else can they conclude but that Bush is either delusional or a liar? And it's impossible, I think, for those people to not recall how we got into this mess: being mislead by the same (delusional or lying?) guy who is now telling us he's the best person to deal with threats. Kerry has to keep hitting Bush* about this -- hard! -- but it's reality that's likely to bring Bush* down now, and there's plenty of time left for that to happen.
