    Here is a press release about a behind the scenes look at the campaign that will run in Newsweek. Pretty interesting stuff, it looks like Carville actually shed tears at one point begging Cahill to step down and let Joe Lockhart run Kerry's campaign. Kerry even offered to expand the role of vp to include Secretary of Defense and overall control of foreign policy if McCain would take it, then got pissed when McCain said he didn't think that was constitutional and turned him down. These people are idiots.

    That's good stuff.

    Kerry has only himself to blame. If he hadn't turned his back on Viet Nam vets by speaking out against the war and the brave men who fought in it there would have never been a Swiftboat Vets movement. Even way back then, Kerry shifted with the wind. Once he saw and heard the tone of anti-war protests he could not resist the urge to try and appeal to what he perceived was the majority. F*ck him and his entire entourage. We are extremely fortunate that this man will never be President of the United States.

    Clinton was dead on with the local bans on the gay marriage issue in trying to persuade Kerry to support it. I don't like Clinton, never will, but I respect the man for being a professional politician. That f*cker is smart.

    that's good stuff, too. its all good stuff. I am still in disbelief more people could not see through his b.s. and his lack of any true conviction. add on top of that his wife who I couldn't fathom being in the white house...she may have been the biggest worry of it all. She is either way over-medicated or way under-medicated. Edwards offered much of nothing either.

    Bush's circle of advisors from condy to powell is something I find a lot more reassuring than the other group. I really thought Barbara Bush offered as much as her husband and I think Laura brings a lot to the table as well.

    Thresa is a billionaire b!tch used to getting her own way. It was killing her to have to play the part of the dutiful wife during the campaign. If Kerry had won, she would have been a major distraction to him. He can't divorce her because she's his meal ticket so he has to do as she says. Again. Thank God they lost.

    Yeah, so instead of having a president who lets his wife tell him what to do (which is BS), we have a president who thinks that God is telling him what to do.

    They've got the whole thing posted online now. Very long, but the parts I've read so far are pretty interesting. An example:


    http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/6414892/site/newsweek/

    The morning after the Feb. 3 primaries, which vaulted Kerry into a virtually insurmountable lead, the candidate was fuming over his missing hairbrush. He and his aides were riding in a van on the way to a Time magazine cover-photo shoot. Nicholson had left the hairbrush behind. "Sir, I don't have it," he said, after rummaging in the bags. "Marvin, f---!" Kerry said. The press secretary, David Wade, offered his brush. "I'm not using Wade's brush," the long-faced senator pouted. "Marvin, f---, it's my Time photo shoot."

    Nicholson was having a bad day. Breakfast had been late and rushed and not quite right for the senator. In the van, Kerry was working his cell phone and heard the beep signaling that the phone was running out of juice. "Marvin, charger," he said without turning around. "Sorry, I don't have it," said Nicholson, who was sitting in the rear of the van. Now Kerry turned around. "I'm running this campaign myself," he said, looking at Nicholson and the other aides. "I get myself breakfast. I get myself hairbrushes. I get myself my cell-phone charger. It's pretty amazing." In silent frustration, Nicholson helplessly punched the car seat.

    Teresa should have spanked him for throwing a temper tantrum like that.
