Robertson has no possible way to back down, soften or change his statement. He was clearly emphatic on the Paula Zahn show about how memorable the statement was when he heard it. He named he city, state and time. And the meeting where it was said.
Further he proclaimed on the show, that he is a die-hard Bush supporter. It can't be called dirty politics because the appearance and the statements he made are on video record. A 527 commercial must be made with him showing Bush told him there would be no causalties. All we're doing is using the statement that came out of Robertson's mouth.
The commercial airing will then be self propagating to do the damage. Bush or Robertson, one of them is going to have to say it is innacurrate, distorted, untrue. They cannot afford to let that statement penetrate. But it will. If they don't defend it, we'll ride it all the way to November. If they do, ONE of them alienates their base. Either way, we win. A commercial is the only thing that will force it to stay in the news.
That is critical that it does. Otherwise, we lose a golden devastating gift that has been handed to us on a silver platter.
