Surrogates, OTOH, will go fucking nutso with it.

The GOP is living in 1955 if it thinks it will win any voters it needs by calling Kerry a traitor/pinko, etc... for protesting Vietnam. The sort of person who'd think protesting Vietnam was unpatriotic is already voting for Bush. Hell, that guy would vote for Agnew if you ran him. Bush doesn't need to shore up the base - he needs to keep the moderates - so I doubt you'll see too many "Kerry is a no good Commie loving hippie" ads.
W has to go back to the middle. He has to work an even bigger lie than Iraq - convincing the American moderates again that he actually is a compassionate conservative. Good luck on that one, George. Watch him carefully - he's already tacking toward the middle again.
I heard something funny on NPR this morning - of the people voting for Kerry, something like 65% have no opinion of Kerry, but just want Bush gone.
