The Candidate reveals what accounted for John Kerry's strong, decisive showing in every political contest since Iowa and why none of those factors was evident in the pre-Iowa polls. It explains how the Kerry campaign staged its surprise turn-around, what voters need to know about what goes on behind the scenes in the Kerry war room, and how the campaign is preparing for the run from July to November. Granted unprecedented access to Kerry's family, his campaign team, advisors, and members of his inner circle, Alexander sheds new light on the man who would be president.'--BOOK JACKET.

"MISSION ACCOMPLISHED!"
T
The S-3B Viking jet descended from the cobalt-blue sky at somewhere between 125 and 150 miles per hour and approached the flight deck of the USS Abraham Lincoln. On its way home to Everett, Washington, after an almost ten-month-long tour of duty as part of the operations in Iraq, the aircraft carrier was positioned in the Pacific Ocean thirty miles off the coast of California near San Diego. The pilot of the snub-nosed, 53-foot-long four-seater, Commander John Lussier-a "mature" flyer, to quote a navy colleague-was known for his smooth landings. Carefully, Lussier guided the jet in its descent until it touched down, still zooming ahead at full speed, onto the flight deck, catching its tailhook on a metal cable stretched across the deck and coming to a dead stop so abruptly that it produced a g-force twice that of gravity. The local time at touchdown was 12:16 p.m. The date was May 1, 2003.
Today's flight was no ordinary mission. There were clues to its unique status on the aircraft itself. navy 1 was painted on its rear. Just underneath the cockpit window, george w. bush, commander-in-chief was painted in script. The two seats behind Lussier were occupied by a Secret Service agent and a spare pilot, and sitting beside Lussier in the copilot seat was the President of the United States himself, dressed in a regulation flight suit topped off with a white helmet. Earlier in the day, Bush had flown on Air Force One from Washington, D.C., to the Naval Air Station North Island in San Diego, where he had replaced his civilian clothes with the green flight suit, undergone training for a possible emergency landing on water, and boarded the Viking jet that would fly him from San Diego to the Abraham Lincoln. According to press reports, Bush, a trained pilot who had served in the Texas Air National Guard in the Vietnam era, flew the jet himself for about one-third of the trip. This could have been why he appeared exuberant and confident as he climbed out of the cockpit and jumped down onto the deck, helmet tucked under one arm. The image was striking. The moment was historic. It was the first time a sitting president had flown in a jet that landed on an aircraft carrier.
Bush shook hands with the sailors who approached him on the flight deck. "Thank you," he would say, or "_'preciate it." When a group of reporters asked if he had flown the jet himself, he answered, "Yes, I flew it. Yeah, of course, I liked it." Before long, crewmen were posing for pictures with Bush, who gladly complied, often throwing one arm around the sailor's shoulder or slapping him on the back. "Good job," Bush said, smiling broadly. He meant, one must presume, the crew's participation in the military operations in Iraq. For, hovering above the scene as it was broadcast live on television-a shot that would be replayed on the news that evening and in the days and weeks to come-was a massive banner that read mission accomplished!
That night, at 9:00 p.m. Eastern time, Bush was on television again, this time to deliver a speech that marked the end of principal military action in Iraq. Dressed in civilian clothes, Bush stood at a podium and spoke to an audience of officers and crewmen from the Abraham Lincoln, who often interrupted him with applause. "Major combat operations in Iraq have ended," Bush announced. "In the battle of Iraq, the United States and our allies have prevailed." Applause! Listing those allies as the United Kingdom, Australia, and Poland, Bush thanked the Iraqi citizens "who welcomed our troops and joined in the liberation of their own country" before he declared: "We've begun the search for hidden chemical and biological weapons, and already know of hundreds of sites that will be investigated. . . . And we will stand with the new leaders of Iraq as they establish a government of, by, and for the Iraqi people." Applause! Then he added: "We have removed an ally of al Qaeda and cut off a source of terrorist funding. And this much is certain: no terrorist network will gain weapons of mass destruction from the Iraqi regime, because the regime is no more." Applause! Finally, Bush summed up the Iraqi mission with a quote from the prophet Isaiah: "To the captives, come out; and to those in darkness, be free."
The speech stood as a remarkable moment in the Bush presidency-and was more than slightly ironic, given future developments-but the event of May 1 that would remain truly memorable was Bush's tailhook landing on the aircraft carrier. In his office in the White House, Vice President Dick Cheney watched the landing on television and, as it was later reported, could not help but break into a big smile, according to an aide. Many in the Republican Party were pleased that day. Bush enthusiasts agreed that the tailhook landing was a spectacular piece of presidential theater. "There he was, slapping officers on the back, posing for pictures, joking with sailors and aviators," journalist Gleaves Whitney would write in the National Review a week later. "You can bet your bottom dollar these images will be used during the 2004 campaign-they'll make Bush harder to beat."
In his office in the Russell Building, John Kerry, the senator from Massachusetts who was seeking the Democratic presidential nomination, could hardly believe what he was seeing. "This is amazing," he said to no one in particular as he and members of his staff watched the landing.
When Bush got out of the cockpit and walked underneath the mission accomplished! sign, Kerry decided that the event, so clearly staged for the media, represented a shocking example of hubris. Kerry didn't have a problem with Bush thanking the troops for what they had gone through in Iraq. In the late 1960s, Kerry himself had been a young member of the American military fighting a war thousands of miles away from the homeland. So Kerry understood-even appreciated-the importance of Bush's gesture: it is appropriate for a president, the commander in chief, to recognize the efforts of his troops after a successful conflict. What offended Kerry was Bush's willingness to make himself-as opposed to the troops-the center of attention. That took a kind of arrogance to which a seasoned military officer would never succumb. Any officer worth respect knows that the troops themselves, not the officers, deserve all of the praise.
While Kerry sat in his office that day, his aides coming and going as the television played, he resolved to keep his feelings private. It would be inappropriate, he concluded, to release a statement or make comments to the press that were critical of Bush. If he were to go public and call Bush's landing on the aircraft carrier what it was-a publicity stunt-it would only serve to distract from Bush's thanking of the troops. So he would keep quiet.
As the rest of the afternoon passed, Kerry could not help but remember how differently the nation had treated the Vietnam veterans, of which he was one, when they returned home in the late 1960s and early 1970s. There were no parades, no marching bands, no welcome-home celebrations. President Nixon did not seize the media spotlight, on the deck of an aircraft carrier or anywhere else, to thank the troops for what they had gone through in Southeast Asia. Even so, for reasons of his own, Kerry decided to let Bush have his fleeting flash of glory, miscalculated as it was, and remain silent about it.
Two days later, however, Kerry was in South Carolina at an event honoring veterans. In the middle of the proceedings, a veteran stood up and addressed Kerry. "You're the only guy running for president," he said, "who doesn't need to play dress-up to know what this war is all about." Kerry understood what the man meant, but he focused on the word choice-play dress-up. There was the opinion in some ranks of the American military that Bush, who in 1968 had chosen to join the National Guard instead of answering the draft-the Guard commonly seen at that time as the organization one entered to avoid military service-did not have the training, the experience, or the credentials to call himself a veteran, much less the commander in chief.
Kerry filed away the phrase-play dress-up-to be used at a later time.
A
A little more than two months later, on July 2, President Bush had just finished making a policy announcement in the Roosevelt Room of the White House when he decided to take questions from reporters. In the weeks since he had given his "Mission Accomplished" speech on the deck of the Abraham Lincoln, the formal military action in Iraq may have come to a halt, but the killing of U.S. servicemen had not. Since May 1, according to information released by the Pentagon, more than twenty servicemen had been killed due to "hostile" fire. The attacks were being executed, the Bush Administration said, by Iraqi militants. Only yesterday Bush had said that the rebuilding of Iraq would be a "massive and long-term undertaking," meaning that, regardless of the deadly strikes being carried out-no matter who the attackers were-the United States would not pull troops out of Iraq in the foreseeable future.
So now, having agreed to speak with reporters after making an announcement concerning efforts to fight AIDS in Africa, Bush suspected that he might be asked about his resolve to keep troops in Iraq in the face of an ongoing series of guerrilla attacks. When the first question about those attacks came, he was clearly prepared: "Anybody who wants to harm American troops will be found and brought to justice," Bush said. "There are some that feel like if they attack us that we may decide to leave prematurely. They don't understand what they are talking about if that is the case." When reporters interrupted, Bush cut them off. "Let me finish," he said. Then he delivered the line he had readied for the occasion. "There are some," he said, "who feel like the conditions are such that they can attack us there. My answer is, bring 'em on. We have the force necessary to deal with the situation."
Hundreds of miles away, in Manchester, New Hampshire, John...
