But he's still John Kerry.
And he's still capable of whacking his fellow candidates for
supporting the Iraq-war resolution even though he, too, supported it.
Anne Kornblut and Patrick Healy report
in today's Boston Globe:
Kerry yesterday launched a
new attack against Gephardt and Senator Joseph I. Lieberman of
Connecticut over their support for the 2002 resolution authorizing
the use of force in Iraq. Kerry accused the two of siding with
President Bush on the resolution, ultimately approved by Congress,
instead of an earlier one that would have limited Bush's ability
to go to war quickly.
"When Joe Lieberman and Dick
Gephardt wound up down at the Rose Garden with the president
signing off on some deal, they pulled the rug out from the rest of
us in the United States Senate who were fighting for a different
resolution," Kerry told voters in Guttenberg, Iowa. Kerry ended up
voting for the resolution that passed.
For what it's worth, Kerry has also
slipped
backwards in Zogby's Iowa
tracking polls for the first time in a while.
