Kerry didn't run on the premise that he was in Cambodia in December 1968. As I recall, the last time he brought it up was in a year starting with 1.

Anyway, Ty, you've got to learn to stop engaging the opposition on the ground of their choosing. It only stirs them up, wastes your time and energy, and doesn't advance the ball. (As if any ball is ever advanced here, but still.) If you can't put a fork in them, just ignore it. Let it roll off your back.
They're going to keep bringing this smear up, and as between ignoring it and pointing out that it is a desperate, vile smear demonstrating that Bush doesn't have much to run on, I prefer the latter. The truth will set you free.

Besides, man, this ain't our strongest point.
I disagree. I would be happy to remind undecided voters that Kerry volunteered for dangerous duty. The comparison is not flattering for Bush. This stuff is dangerous only if people are misled about the truth. Since the media seems to be hip to the smear tactics, all is not lost.
