The problem is that between the MSM and a big helping of vote fraud, there is a chance, and not that slim, that we will wind up with Kerry where we don't want him.
He has gotten a complete pass from the Bush Team on all of this because they are afraid of the MSM. Karl Rove has decided that the Vietnam Era doesn't count, and neither does vote fraud.
Yes, the MSM is a barrier, and they should be pushing the Vietnam angle harder, IMO.
