26. That's the problem.

Yes, it's much too wordy. It has to be if Kerry is going to fight back with facts, because the Bush* team has really done something genius here: take a complicated subject with many facts, and boil it down into ten or twenty words that while grossly understating or misstating the truth tend to stay in people's minds.

I don't know- could the Kerry team perhaps play the same game, and sling a bigger handful each time? (Since we were talking about intelligence funding, could Kerry not have mention how the * admin undermined international intel by leaking Plame's name?)

If the Kerry team wants to hit back hard, they need to use the same set of concepts, one of which is the use of "key" words that stay with people, and another which is the sound bite. Add the two together, and you have a powerful tool indeed.

I think it's time we learned how to use it.
