The point of the flip-flop attack is the allegation: you're unprincipled. And that's the attack against Kerry.
I do think it makes it impossible for them to make the flip-flop argument, particularly when this week President Bush has both said we cannot win the war on terrorism and we can win the war on terrorism.
It does make it impossible, I think, for the Republicans to say that Kerry's a flip-flopper when they have the guy who gave Bill Clinton's keynote address now giving George Bush's.
The president is undermining his own message. What little hair Karl Rove has left, he is pulling out, because Bush unscripted is a very scary thing.
If you look at their platform, they're even driving some Republicans away from the party with their own platform.
I think that they believe that Senator Kerry has been aggrieved that there have been untrue -- and I believe there were untrue attacks made about his war record.
