The new LA Times poll is out, which shows Bush ahead (by 3) for the first time in what has been a Kerry-leaning poll all year (Kerry was up by 9 not so long ago). It includes this incredible stat:
Asked how Kerry's overall military experience would affect their vote, 23% said it made them more likely to vote for him, while 21% said it made them less likely; the remaining 53% said it would make no difference.That is, Kerry's Vietnam record is now a wash. Take away Vietnam and what's left? Mickey Kaus:
Unfortunately, it's more or less all Kerry's got. It wouldn't be so important if Kerry had a) a discernable ideology; b) a political message; c) a record of achievement; or d) an appealing personality!Marc
