The current issue is, who is more qualified to be president. So, yes, Kerry's twenty years of inaction, waffling, and covering on all issues except for cutting military funds and raising taxes is decidedly relevant. As for Bush's past issues, I think we're quite happy to go there. At least there's a "there" there to go to.

The person who got you lost is not the person you trust to get you unlost. A 20-year voting record is an easy thing to pore over. Hell, W tried to bring it up with the $87 MM troop funding thing (you remember, where W threatened the veto because he feels his tax cuts are more important than the lives of soldiers he put into danger). The inaction and waffling are manufactured issues and you know it.
We face important issues and the debate is only 90 minutes. I didn't see W's past brought up at all, political or otherwise, except to the extent that his executive decisions are currently those that are of grave concern to all of us. Spin til you're dizzy, but the questions were legitimate.
