Here's an analogy for you:
2000 is to "Fuzzy Math" as 2004 is to "Wrong War, Wrong Place, Wrong Time"
Say it a couple 100 more times George! Ask for the 30 second extension just to say it a few more times! Clearly Bush's advisors told him to wait for any statement Kerry might say that makes him look like he isn't supporting the troops and then to hammer it to death. Truth is, Kerry kept saying that now that we're in the war, he has a plan to see it through, but Bush wasn't hearing it (or wanted the viewing public to ignore it). Trying to paint Kerry as unpatriotic or implying that he would in some way pull all the troops out of Iraq while spitting on the graves of those who have lost their lives was pretty low.
But all in all, I was disappointed in one major thing with Kerry (whom I support). I was really hoping that Kerry would talk more about his own stances on things than on Bush's shortcomings. It wasn't "mud-slinging" per se (no personal attacks), but a lot of undecided voters get turned off by what they may perceive as any kind of "bashing".
