Quote:

..... Two key campaign events enhanced Mr. Bush's role as America's defender and Mr. Kerry as weak and/or indecisive. The first was the swift boat ads. In my focus groups, Mr. Kerry's convention performance was effective enough to change a few minds. But the blizzard of TV ads unleashed by the group of Vietnam vets blanketed the airwaves in swing states and undid whatever benefit the convention provided. True, the swift boat veterans never fully convinced voters that Mr. Kerry "betrayed" his country in wartime, but they did raise nagging and unresolved doubts about Mr. Kerry's character and judgment at the very moment that voters had begun to make up their minds.
The second key event was the Republican convention itself. .....
