The alleged dereliction of duty by Senators Kerry and Edwards is as much a non-issue as it has been in EVERY SINGLE RACE EVER where the challenger holds another office.
It always is brought up by supporters of the incumbent (or like in 2000, the pseudo-incumbent). And it never matters. It didn't matter with Bush in 2000, despite the fact that Democrats kept trying to bring it up (stupidly, one might add, as Bush's resignation would only have brought about Perry as Gov earlier - look how well that's worked out). And he had actual day to day governing to do.
