The Kerry campaign is a disaster. If the Clinton people were serious about helping him they would of got off the Vietnam/National Guard fiasco weeks ago. No, they still bring it up and it keeps blowing up in their faces. It's only going to get uglier when Bush is reelected because the Dems are going to try to impeach him.
It could be that Kerry himself has been the big push for the Vietnam angle...for at least a year it's been going on.
