The day before this broke, I picture Karl Rove sweating bullets and saying to his people, "Boys, it's lookin' bad...real bad. Now, go out there and find me somethin' to work with. I don't care what it is, just find me some dirt...anything!" And of course, Kerry's blunder was the best they could do, so they're putting all their eggs into it. I mean, come on, do you really think this off-the-map speech at some nowheresville high school would've drawn any attention, if not for the Republican strategists spooking around, grasping for some pitiful ray of hope and desparate to turn nothing into something? I think it's a pretty good guage of Republican desparation over election day, that they would dive-tackle something like this to try to stir up the voters. Pleeeeze! Is that the best they got? Too little, too late, Karl.
