Bunker busting or blunder

Hugh has asked;
"Did Kerry blunder in denouncing nuclear bunker busters? If so, why? If
so, how great the damage to his candidacy?"

Probably not. He isn't going to pull people who support the President
away because one of the defining attributes of W's supporters is an
awareness of the times in which we live and the need to be strong.
Kerry's only audience in the next three weeks is the undecided, likely
to vote crowd. Will it make a difference to them? Probably not. The
undecided I've talk to don't really understand the need to be strong.
They are looking closer to home, in a here today, what can you do for me
now mentality. Bunker busting, nuclear bombs are too ethereal for them.


Remember I said "probably not." You can change that to "certainly" if
something big happens. Another attack on U.S. soil would do it. It would
sink Kerry. People's memories are just too short. 9/11 is a footnote in
history for some.

But lest we forget. This is what our Nation is responding to.
Please remember that in the difficult times ahead.
