Zev is giving Kerry way too much credit.I don't think he knows saying these things were gaffes.One of them is shameless pandering and the other one does expose his arrogance ...or could it be it exposes a propensity to lie?

I don't believe Kerry views them as gaffes. Dean didn't either.

I think the arrogance of both Kerry and Dean allowed them to feel they can utter any stupid remark and it will be accepted.

Kerry also hasn't been taken to task (naturally) by the lamestream media for any of his past utterances, which is bolstering his arrogance, and, in the long run, just may do him in.

As it did Dean.
