Great point. Kerry has lagged behind on the war issue and he's not going to suddenly close the gap in a few days. Instead of drawing attention to those issues where he holds a lead, trying to change the subject, he is basically saying "OK, I'll admit the issue I'm weak on is THE important issue."
hanoi john is a day late and a dollar short. he is so tone deaf that he continued to pound the issue as we were debunking it.
