The Discerning Texan
All that is necessary for evil to triumph, is for good men to do nothing.

Mayday! Mayday!
The Kerry campaign seems to be on a downward spiral to say the least. And, as usual, Captain Ed is there to put it into perspective. Captain's Quarters is becoming a daily visit for me. He concludes:
This could be over in two days if Kerry would sign the 180 and release his records, and if they clear him, it would give him tremendous credibility. Now, however, it may be too late as the Swiftvets have moved on to his post-war activities -- and Kerry's refusal to release his records signals even his supporters that he has something to hide. Under those circumstances, hunkering down and campaigning on issues would be the best strategy, but his refusal to do even that demonstrates not only his need to hide something, but his complete incompetence in doing so.

Lieberman's starting to look good now, don't you think?
Indeed.
