Reply #17: The question is NOT whether he was actually guilty of anything, but ......

...instead the question is whether someone can show the basic documents and delineate the basic facts within a few minutes on a TV program, or at least well enough for a large segment of the voters to understand it. Because if that can be done, then it will look very bad for Bush. WHen you look at the docs and the basic facts a certain way, it looks pretty bad for Bush. No way around that.


And if that is done, then barring any surprises, the election is over and Bush is done. A huge segment of the voters is well acquainted with the general rules regarding duty in the military. Either they served, or an immediate family member served. Many of these people vote GOP, or they have in the past. But the AWOL Bush facts, if presented properly, will sure leave a bitter taste in their mouths (and the "champagne unit" information has not even come out yet!). If you present the AWOL bush docs and facts a certain way in order to take advantage of that understanding, he is TOAST!
