What is with all this "coverage" today crying that Kerry's campaign is a disaster, he's made errors, he's not ready for primetime, he's really slipping in the polls, and look out, first a vacation and then surgery -- while Bush has done great running negative ads?
The "error" cited is "I voted for the $87 billion before I voted against it," which *none* of the talking heads I've seen has pointed out is a *true* statement rather than a gaffe, nor has any provided the context of whatever he said just before that quote and just after it.
The "slipping" in the national poll cited is a dip in the "unfavorable" rating that coincides with the "too liberal" view, and it does not seem to show up in the overall poll. He's still ahead of Bush!
During the vacation and now during the surgery, the 9/11 commission's hearings and Clarke's remarks (and book) pretty much eclipsed both campaigns anyway, but they're silent on that in these "Kerry's a Miserable Failure" stories.
As they discuss the "negative ads" from the Bush campaign, they *show* the ad with Kerry as a comical silent-film clown supposedly advocating a new gas tax, again *without* bothering to say that the ad is completely false, and without showing any of the Kerry ads (or MoveOn's).
Is it making anybody else nuts?
