30. They can't
because he didn't. Saying that your experience set is the best set for today's world is very different from calling someone a "chickenhawk" or something. Dean says that his experience as a governor makes him better suited for an executive positions. Kerry says that his exposure to war in VietNam makes him better suited. Neither is attacking. Is Dean saying that Kerry never having served as Governor to be considered an attack? Kerry did have the opportunity to pursue being gov, but went into the Senate instead.

It's an experience set, and the people will decide which has the better attributes, resume and policy positions.

Pointing out the differences isn't "an attack". That's just silly.
