Grown-ups
Absent a record to run on, Bush-Cheney '04 is going to try and Gore-ify Kerry over the next month. I'm afraid it will work, but it's disgusting. How do we counter this:

President Bush's campaign plans to use the normally quiet month of August for a vigorous drive to undercut John Kerry by turning attention away from his record in Vietnam to what the campaign described as an undistinguished and left-leaning record in the Senate.

Mr. Bush's advisers plan to cap the month at the Republican convention in New York, which they said would feature Mr. Kerry as an object of humor and calculated derision.

Nice of them to live up to our expectations.
