| GOP Makes Plans to Counter Democrat Convention |
| 2004-07-22 |
| EFL from CNSNews.com -snip- The Republican National Committee will have a 30-person staff in Boston to coordinate daily press conferences, Republican speeches and a 24-hour rapid response to Democrat activities. The RNC has already launched a website -DemsExtremeMakeover.com - to serve as an information clearinghouse. "The Democrats are trying to have this cosmetic convention, hoping on the back end they can meet the historic average over the last 30 years of a 15-point swing in the polls," said Ed Gillespie, the RNC's chairman. "We'd like to try to make clear the record and reality in hopes of blunting that effort." Gillespie noted that it won't be easy for Republicans to get press coverage during the Democrats' big week, but that hasn't stopped the RNC from putting together a lineup of prominent Republicans. The list includes former New York mayor Rudy Giuliani, Massachusetts Lt. Gov. Kerry Healy, former Massachusetts Gov. William Weld, Colorado Gov. Bill Owens, U.S. Rep. Henry Bonilla (Texas) and Sens. Saxby Chambliss (Ga.), Mitch McConnell (Ky.), Norm Coleman (Minn.) and John Cornyn (Texas). -snip- I think there will be the same lack of bounce after the convention that there was after Edwards name was added to the ticket. Despite what people say very few people have not made up their mind on this one already. |

| #1 No bounce? I think Kerry must be made of lead. If this doesn't smart a bit, I don't know what would: Brokaw: "Did you know that [Berger] was under investigation?" Kerry: "I didn't have a clue, not a clue." Brokaw: "He didn't share that with you? Kerry: "I didn't have a clue." from Hugh |
