Bob Dole demands that Kerry make MoveOn.org stop running its "Quagmire" ad that shows an American soldier "surrendering" to the quagmire of Iraq. Never mind that such contact between Kerry and MoveOn would be illegal "coordination", I think Dole is wrong on another count: the ad does Kerry no favors.
The anti-Bush Left has got blinders on. They think that what plays to them (Bush=Hitler, American soldiers as stormtroopers or helpless victims, the whole Night-Falls-on-America thing), plays to the center. It doesn't. If anything it repells.
So, Bring It On™. Perhaps an ad with Bush, Cheney, Rumsfelt & Ashcroft as vampires eating newborn black children. That ought to get votes in the middle, eh?
