Reply #16: That was just strange.

Kerry had been attacked three times in MA for his support of the anti-war efforts in the past. (One of them involved bringing then Congressman John McCain to Boston to have him rail against the protesting Kerry.) One of the after the election wrap-up did talk about how the guys from KErry's swift boats were getting older and were grandfathers and such and had lives. And it was August, prime vacation time. And it's just not that easy to round everyone up for another press junket. That said, the best thing that happened was the Rood (sp?) article in the Chicago Tribune. That was the most effective debunker or O'Neill and Corsi's lies.

The thing that did hurt was the windsurfing ad in August. (It was also inevitable.) Sen. Kerry went to the Nantucket house to relax and strategize with his team for the rest of the campaign. The media came along. They took those pics of him in Nantucket Sound and spun the sport into an elite and expensive hobby that made Kerry look 'out-of-touch.' Next time, don't invite the media to Nantucket. If they want long shots of the Senator on the water, they should have to buy it from the National Enquirer type paparazzi.
