Statement
from Bush-Cheney '04 Campaign Chairman Governor Marc Racicot
CLEVELAND, OHIO -- Today, Bush-Cheney '04 Campaign Chairman
Governor Marc Racicot made the following statement:
"Vice President Dick Cheney won tonight because he countered rhetoric
with the facts - calling into question not just the deficiencies of
Kerry's record, but calling into question Kerry and Edwards'
credibility as candidates and as U.S. Senators.
"John Edwards failed as a credible
advocate for John Kerry and Dick Cheney proved once again that
substance will always trump campaign rhetoric. The American
people saw no evidence that John Kerry has any convictions - despite
Edwards' best attempts at political spin.
"John Edwards delivered an empty
performance full of political attacks that ignored the realities of a
post 9/11 America."
