Reply #26: The odd thing is that could really really backfire

One endearing, but extremely not political thing about Kerry is that he is the politician least likely to list the personal things he has done to help people. If Hillary tries to position herself - as she is doing in the ads - as the soldier's and vet's advocate, Kerry will be forced to speak of these things and its something he really has done for 35 years.

It also makes her look ridiculous. What remarks were "inappropriate"?

Kerry stressing the need of doing your homework and planning before invading. Her comment was made a day after Kerry defended himself and the correct text was out there. That comment is NOT inappropriate, but what she should be saying in her own words. If she means the words as said where the students are the ones who end up in Iraq - that IS true for some low income people and does not mean that all military are there because they can't make it in school. The only way the comment could be "inappropriate" is if she accepts the RW meaning that the words don't support from a person she knows wouldn't say that.

But, if it was Kerry's blistering defense - that is beyond hypocritical having just praised her own husband for his rage against Chris Wallace - where if anything he was more out there then Kerry. In fact, many people praised Clinton for giving all Democrats the power to speak up. Is she saying, all but Kerry.
