>>An axiom of politics is: "Don't feed a bad story." By going postal about the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, John Kerry has laid out a veritable banquet.<<

SNIP/>>Despite the media attempt at a blackout, the charges made by the Swifties were causing a hemorrhage of support for Kerry among veterans, thanks to the efforts of dozens of Web loggers. Still, his escalation of the issue is puzzling. Thanks to Kerry, many, many more people have heard of the Swift Boat Veterans for Truth, and are curious about what they have to say. The publisher of "Unfit for Command" can't print books fast enough to meet demand.

While still small potatoes as far as 527 committees go, the Swifties are now -- thanks to Kerry -- relatively flush. The group reports having received more than $1.7 million in Internet contributions since Kerry attacked them. They won't be going away anytime soon.<<
