[Always Right]

Kerry and his beleaguered staff are being flooded with advice, much of it contradictory. Some party officials want him to criticize the president for sitting out the Vietnam War in the Texas Air National Guard. Others say that would draw unwanted attention to allegations about Kerry's combat experience when the focus should be on the economy and the Iraq (news - web sites) war.

With advisors like this, who needs enemies....

It seems impossible to win the election by pointing out Bush's Guard service, because last time I checked Bush is already President. He can be judged on his performance and one would think publicly known info from 30 years ago was already factored into Bush's first election. Al Gore did a longer tour in Vietnam than Kerry.

Kerry OTOH, is being evaluated the first time around for CIC, therefore all issues are relevant at this time.
