While the author fails to relate any real sense of the audience reactions to his presentation, it's good to see Benjamin Ginsburg out there on campus telling it like it was...

Graphic inset text: Former Bush-Cheney counsel Benjamin Ginsburg speaks in Moulton Union yesterday about his involvement with the Swift Boat ad controversy.
Bowdoin students proved during the 2004 election that they don't shy away from controversy—and they didn't shy away last night as a good number of students attended Benjamin Ginsberg's lecture, "Red States, Blue States, and Swift Boat Vets: An Inside Look at the 2004 Election."
Benjamin Ginsberg resigned as national counsel to the Bush-Cheney campaign amid a storm of controversy surrounding his connections to the advocacy organization Swift Boat Veterans for Truth.
When asked by the Orient what he would say to students who may be turned away from politics by negativity in campaigns, Ginsberg replied that students should consider that "these are the people who are going to be running your government...negativity is a part of politics, and sometimes it helps get your candidate elected."
Prior to the 2004 election, Ginsberg served as national counsel to Bush-Cheney campaign in 2000, and played a central role in the Florida recount in the 2000 election. Among other things, he also currently represents the Republican National Committee, the National Republican Senatorial Committee, and the National Congressional Committee.
The talk focused on George W. Bush's successful re-election campaign.

emphasis mine
| Quote: | | Swift Boat Veterans for Truth "thought that their views should be heard in the debate on the election," Ginsberg said. "I have never been so moved to get involved in a political group...The ads were truly powerful." |
same for most of us here, truly moved to be involved with/support the Swifts
| Quote: | | "Progress for America and Swift Boat Veterans for the Truth stepped up to serve a balanced viewpoint" in the campaigns for the presidency, Ginsberg said. |
and for that we are indebted, kudos to Mr Ginsberg for his own efforts
