That sounds about right--5-10. The thing is, the support for Kerry is SO shallow that it's not going to take a lot to take the drive out of certain voters who sorta kinda but don't really support him.
For the sake of argument let's say there is nothing to this--OK, then, why the heck doesn't Kerry release that information? Let's say he DOES release exculpatory information--why did he let this story get so far? If he had this data, why not get it out in the primaries--why keep it secret in the first place?
No one who COULD clear up such a story would let it sit out there, waiting for a time like this.
I think you have it pegged.

I agree, that is a mystery.
But, Kerry does have DREAD (the fear of exposure) written all over his ugly face!
You're absolutely right!
He could have put the facts out and played the Big Martyr Act. "Persecuted for his beliefs in an unjust war" etc.etc.
Would have had Hollyweird and all wetting their pants even more for him.
What a snot!
Anything he says now will reflect negatively. It's not the lie, it's the coverup, stupid.
