He did say he respected Kerry for his service in the Senate but didn't like his "record".
Yes, that was it - But the average swing voter out there thinks that is just a political type statement -
G.W. Bush needed to be somewhat specific about National Security and Kerry's 20 year record of being WRONG -
It blows me away that Kerry got out of there without having to defend ONCE his 20 year voting record.
It completely showed Jim Lehrer's bias that he didn't bring it up ONCE either as a question -
