The real question is going to come down to John's response. He can't ignore them, but he also can't overreact, and he certainly can't allow focus to shift that way. He's pretty close to having recovered from the RNC and the previous Swift Boat row. The negative impact was felt when the campaign reacted too heavily and for a while people were hearing more of the counter-sbvt than anything else.
Kerry's campaign has gone on to other things, and people are getting back on board with it. SBVT has been adding new ads throughout, and now I think as long as John doesn't over-react, they will not deflate his position at all.
