This is what I'm hoping to hear from Bush (or a surrogate):

There's been a lot of noise made recently by allegations made about my opponent. I'm not in a position to say whether they have merit or not. Only the men who were there know what happened and people can decide whom to believe. I am in a position to say that what happened over 30 years ago is much less important to this election than what our plans are for the future. The enemy we fight today is entirely different. I hope that voters will focus on our different approaches to fighting terrorism and look at our records on defense and intelligence issues to make sure our words match our deeds. A 240 month voting record in the Senate that leads up to today is far more important than what happened during 4 months 3 decades ago. How we fight this war has nothing to do with any other war. My opponent said in his convention speech that "any attack will be met with a swift and certain response." My approach is different: I don't want to just respond, I want to prevent and forestall attacks. Let's all put aside these personal attacks and focus on the important issues that affect our future.

Richard Clarke and Joe Wilson received enormous media attention when they were peddling their anti-Bush books (though the latter has not received nearly as much attention after he was revealed to have been far less than truthful). But Stephen Hayes and David Bossie received almost no press coverage for their books and if you do not know who they are or what they wrote about, then my point is made.

Now the media has another chance to demonstrate some semblance of balance with new books out by General Tommy Franks and John O'Neill. Let's see how they do.
