What doesn't kill us makes us stronger
Kos makes the following excellent point:
Same deal on the SCLM. When Dean was the front runner, they could focus on taking him out. But with the mega-corporations forcing newsroom cuts, they don't have the bench strength to take out two candidates at the same time.
The GOP wants to unload on our nominee. They've been waiting for the chance to use that $200 million (or whatever) warchest to define our candidate right out of the starting gate.
But they haven't been able to do so. We don't have a nominee. So that puts them in a quandry. They can start going after Kerry, or frontrunner, but if they hit him too hard they could damage him irreparably, helping Edwards take out Kerry in the upcoming primaries. Rove could very well end up doing Edwards' dirty work, and spending precious dollars doing so.
