Obeying the rules is not trivial.
I know some Dems who look at this type of stuff in a candidate and it would sour them on Kerry.
Just because you have an overly negative view of Americans does not mean it is accurate.
This is not a particularly compelling scandal and will only make our side look bad, stabbing for an 'excuse' for Dubya's loss.
We should focus on winning, not this peripheral stuff. That being said, we need to keep Kerry honest in matters like this in debates 2 and 3.
