Wow the money is pouring in to stop Kerry in Nebraska. - Peacetrain - 05-02-2012 04:44 PM
Nebraska is across the river.. so I get to see all the commericals on local TV.. and the PACS are in 24/7 throwing attacks at Bob Kerry.
Just brutal.
There is really nothing on the national stage .. but the local elections.. I can't even begin to guess the amount of money the RNC and the PACS have already spent in attacking Kerry.
This is just as ugly on the congressional side as the executive.. If not more so.

Kerrey, curious as to what they're using to attack him.

I heard they had unleashed all hell on Kerry. The pubs want that seat and will be vicious.

Alleged backroom deals with Harry Reid, alleged support of tax-payer funded abortions, supports a more liberal version of Health Care Reform.
Mostly the usual crap.

Oh. They're attacking him with progress. I was wondering if they were going to maneuver a way to attack his military service too. Maybe it's too well known in Nebraska.

Does that indicate a greater respect for Kerrey's potential in the race than the polls would indicate?
Or, just that they have a lot of money to spend?

Honestly suzie.. it is both.. the rnc and pacs are scared because Kerry is the one person that could move SD into the blue category at this time.
His appeal to the middle is starting to resound.. the more the right goes off the cliff even these conservative areas.
This is so early.. and I bet last week.. in one hour.. there must have been 7 or 8 anti Kerry ads on our local TV.. I am thinking it was a real push to try and swift boat him before he gets any more head nods from the great populace.
This part of the country is swift boat central.. and I have met Bud Day,( everybody basically knows everybody around here)..I do not know if he will come after Bob the way he did John Kerry.. I have not seen him locally for a couple of years.. so he is getting up there..wait and see
The last time..the right attacked Bob Kerry on his war record but not the way you think.. it was over a massacre in Vietnam..
There are skeletons I am sure that will be swung out again..

with my dyslexia, Bob has it much easier than John Kerry who I tend to type as Jhon..
