In any event, per my prior post, Bush's NGS has been trumped by his CIC service.

Per my PM, search Kevin Drum's archives and you will find it.
And it's not like this election is about a choice between Bush's record and Kerry's character. These stories -- Swift boats, Bush AWOL -- are about seizing the tactical advantage in the race. The real story is, who has the better campaign tactics. Political junkies -- from whom the ranks of campaign reporters are drawn -- want to be "neutral" and think it's more fair to cover the campaign as a horse race, with the side that shows more tactical campaign skill in the lead. Besides, policy is boring.
