205. Because, had he gone after them, the press STILL would have run with

their story but would have insisted that the ONLY reason they did was because, by responding, Kerry made it a story.

Katie/Daryn/Paula: "Tim/Bill/Carlos - the Swift Boat issue really hurt John Kerry. Did he make a mistake in going after them the way he did?

Tim/Bill/Carlos: Definitely, Katie/Daryn/Paula. This was a one, maybe two day story at best. But when Kerry rose to their bait, he elevated their importance and turned this into a much bigger story. He should have just ridden it out."
