As fun as it was to watch Matthews today - the bottom line is these nasty ass ads are working in Bush's favor.

It worked for Bush Sr, Bush Jr., vs McCain, Chambliss vs Cleland.

Somehow these guys who didn't step one foot in Vietnam are able to trash the men who did!


The appearance of his fellow Vietnam veterans at the Democratic convention helped John Kerry’s support among veterans, but the recent attacks on his Vietnam service may have moved veterans’ support back toward George W. Bush now. Kerry is running well behind his opponent among veterans; now, 55 percent of veterans back Bush, and 37 percent back Kerry. A few weeks ago, both candidates were tied among veterans.

2. Do we know the ads had anything to do with this?

or is it simply going back to the way it was preconvention? Also, the sample size is really small, with a MOE of 8.
