Not the response Bush wanted

Here's some stories:
GOP Prisim Distorts Some Kerry's Positions (page one of the Washington Post, no less)

Bush Leaves Out Complex Facts in Speech

Bold Strokes, Few Details

Bush Tries Again with Financial Proposals

Domestic Questions Remain

And as a result of Kerry's speech:
MSNBC has on their front page "Battle Joined," leading to the story:
Bush promises: ‘Nothing will hold us back’
Kerry takes up challenge, calls president ‘unfit to lead this nation’

Bush, Kerry Square Off Over Iraq, Jobs


AP:Kerry Hits Bush on Iraq War, Economy

Now I realize a lot of stories will talk solely about the convention speech, but the timing and the release of key blurbs from Kerry's midnight speech was a great idea. Without that release, those words had no chance of hitting papers tomorrow. Because of it (which confused someone on CNN), we will see Bush and Kerry intermingle in key stories.

The fight is on.
