During a speech earlier Tuesday at Cooper Union in New York, Kerry sought to turn the campaign debate to issues on which he thinks he can win - and away from questions about his Vietnam service.

Wasn't the speech billed ahead of time as one in which he would "answer the charges"? Well, at least until after his phone call to Brant.

That was my impression as well. He thinks he can stonewall like Clinton, and never answer any of the charges.
