Swift boaters quietly arrive in the morning harbor mist
A new group financed by a Texas billionaire and organized by some of the same political operatives and donors behind the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth campaign against Sen. John F. Kerry in 2004 plans to begin running television ads attacking Barack Obama, a signal that outside groups may play a larger role than anticipated in the closing days of the presidential race.

5. They swiftboat subhumans will be vilified for their sleaze this go.
It's red meat for their base, but will also be a lightening rod for a barrage of criticism from the MSM for the tactics this go in a mea culpa for sitting on their hands in 2004.

My guess? A net zero gain for the wingnuts.
