It doesn't seem to matter if you drove your Swiftboat into it, or it you flew your outdated fighter jet far, far from its center.
Just like the Republican wag who commented that when the GOP is thru with Kerry, "people won't be sure what side he fought on," I think that near November people will forget how much Bush wanted this campaign to be about bullhorns and not fighter jets.

The problem is that Bush's performance as CinC supercedes anything that may have made him questionnably unqualified in the past. Kerrey has a stature gap that he tried to fill with his VN service. Now there are questions regarding that service and thus his stature.
