I think the comercial is excellent and pulls on the heart strings.

And that is probably what is most offensive to the Democrats.

I wonder if FDR asked Americans to remember Pearl Harbor as part of his election campaigns...I'll bet you we could find some fine propaganda from that era that is far more tasteless than This short glimpse given in the Bush ad.

The thing I find interesting is that the Bush team had to know this ad would cause controversy with the Democrats who realy want this election to be a brawl (that they could blame Bush for).

And still the Bush team ran the ad... That tells me something: They think they can wipe John Kerry off the evening news with even the smallest amount of controversy.

Take time to think about that... Its not really a good thing for Kerry that the media wants to turn even the slightest controversy concerning the Bush campaign into a newsmedia frenzy: Kerry needs the spotlight more than Bush. And lets face it. Come November, this ad will be a long forgotten memory by all but the most partisan hacks (like you and me). Those in the middle will remember the ad, but they won't remember the controversy.

  - You're exactly right Justin. The ad was a strawman ad, and the Kerry folks unwhitingly walked right into the trap. - Scott Evil - 3/5/2004 7:12:55 PM
