While the Democrats will undoubtedly hold the spotlight this week, the Philadelphia Inquirer reports that GOP oppo researchers will “swim upstream” in an effort to define Kerry,

The duel to define Kerry’s image is critically important, because this election may be determined by a small percentage of voters who don’t care much about politics and who, at this point, know only that Kerry is a tall guy with good hair. The Republican megaphone is small this week, but the staffers believe in the tyranny of the 24/7 news cycle, and with Bush imperiled in the polls (although they’d never acknowledge that), they don’t intend to let Kerry leave town on a pedestal.

As you post your comment, please mind our simple comment policy: we welcome all perspectives, but require that comments be both civil and respectful. We also ask that you avoid the extensive use of profanity, racist terms (neither of which we consider civil or respectful), and other boorish language.

We reserve the right to delete any comment, and to prohibit you from commenting on this site, if we feel you have broached this policy. As a courtesy, we will first send you an email noting a violation so you understand the boundaries. This will occur only once, however, and should we ban you from our comment forums we expect that ban to be permanent.

We also will frown upon those who suggest that we ban other individuals for voicing unpopular opinions, should those opinions be voiced in a civil and respectful manner. The point of our comment threads is to provide a forum for spirited though civil and respectful discourse … it is not to provide a forum in which everyone will agree with your point of view.

If you can live by these rules, welcome aboard. If not, then we’re sorry it didn’t work out, and thanks for visiting The Command Post.
