We are responsible for keeping the AWOL story in the headlines...
...the TV media have already made an effort to "get past 35 years ago" last night. We must POUND the shows with requests for more. Lou Dobbs already has said that he will not cover this. Matthews also alluded to putting this issue on "ignore". It's up to us, (as always).

1. YES!
If we do not force the media to keep airing it, they will bury it

6. John Kerry is the only one that can "force" the media to cover
this story.

5. Bingo - we have a winner!!!
If Kerry doesn't get involved the story dies. An email from Joe Schmoe in Green Bay ain't gonna do it. Frankly I'm tired of all the excuses people around here resort to when defending a campaign that has trouble playing rough - not dirty, rough.

3. Do John Kerry and his campaign team have any role in this?
Are the feckless group of boobs that the campaign uses on the talking heads shows at all responsible for the fact that the campaign was put on the defensive for a month? Sorry pal - this is a big fat juicy 85 mph meatball right over the plate that John Kerry needs to personally swat 450 ft over the center field wall. If this thing doesn't gain traction it ain't my fault.
