Of course, he received a ton of hate mail for that sin.

That the GOP has jumped on this is not surprising in the least. At this stage in the game, it is clear that there will be no more cross over votes. So this kind of non-controversy is exactly the red meat needed to galvanize the base. And that's what Republican strategists are pinning their hopes on now. So... thanks to John Kerry, the GOP may just pull this one out!<< <a href="http://mb.laughingplace.com/default.asp?WCI=MsgBoard&WCE=T-81300-P-4&Refresh=1102084929" target="_blank">http://mb.laughingplace.com/de fault.asp?WCI=MsgBoard&WCE=T-81300-P-4&Refresh=1102084929</a> At this point I believe that the GOP doesn't need to do much more with this. It has grown its own legs and will run on its own for a while. At least, until the next meaningless "controversy" comes along. >>Don't you think voters can see through that as well?<< Not really. I think that voters are looking at anything that distracts from a campaign season that has offered little more than "The Bush party lies" and "Democrats want to cut and run."
