some seem to think it's so simple . that you run an ad and it will be all over.

but it's just one part within a larger overall campaign. many who believe it are those who WANT to believe it. and then there are some who may believe it but they don't care and it wont have anything to do with who they vote for as president. if they have lost their job and are unemployed or have a worse job without much pay and other similar problems, and they find kerry's plans appealing and something that they view as improving their lives, they most likely will vote for him even if they believe the smear boat liars or at least it contributes to questions about kerry's service.
