Bush will take his shots as well.
The only thing is, Bush will be able to use Kerry's history of changing his mind on virtually every issue he's ever "fought for". His proof will be in his Senate Votes.
Of course, we all know this.
We'll see what happends in November. I think President Bush took a little longer than he should have, to get into the "fight" and start campaigning. It gave Kerry a bit too long to Bush-Bash with the other candidates before Bush can respond.
This will be the first time I've said it, but I do not believe Bush is a shoe-in any more. It's still a long-shot that Kerry could win, but stranger things have happened and if President Bush doesn't start taking Kerry seriously; it will slip out from underneath him.
FYI, Kerry is every bit as crooked as any other politician out there.
