CNN's Bill Schneider says Bush has to spend too much time "explaining"

[Lex]

over the last week (about the explosives issues) and that has seriously knocked him off his message (as if he has one) and put him on the defensive.

On the other hand, reports Schneider, Kerry has been able to feature the explosives issue to what he has been saying all along, so it has bolstered his campaign position that he is best to lead the country.

Paraphrasing this, of course. However I've never seen CNN's Bill Schneider so down on Bush's chances or his campaign.

1. * is a Joke

I don't know what he is standing on - he calls it conviction and i call it the black hole.

Just goes to show the black hole can reverse and all the dirty laundry comes right back at ya.

5. Bill should lock himself in his AEI office for the next four years nt

[Bush was AWOL]

6. Dick Morris and the Faux boys think exactly the opposite

They think that Kerry blew it by focusing on this explosives story and abandoning his best issues (Health Care, economy, etc). I totally disagree with these fools, cause obviously Kerry can do both at the same time. Kerry would be hitting Bush on Iraq one way or the other, and this just gives him more ammo to work with.

7. Ol' Brer Dick and Brer FOX News.....

Screaming, "Please don't drop the explosives issue and don't go back to campaigning on Health Care!"

How stupid do they think Kerry is? The explosives story is a deadly story for the Bushies, and they know it.
