It's called triangulation. Dick Morris taught it to WJC and GWB is using it. Notice how Kerry cannot criticize any part of GWB's education program except that GWB is not spending the money fast enough.
So now it's OK for a Pubbie to out-liberal Teddy No-pants? And where is the Constitutional authority for FedGov to even be involved in education in the first place????? But you're OK with this, I take it...
