but what concerns me is the story that Jim Jordan "convinced" Kerry to vote for the Iraqi resolution--apparently with an eye towards the fall election with Bush, but to vote in favor of a resolution permitting Bush to commit troops to Iraq on political grounds is unforgivable, imo. Whether this is true or not I don't know--I hope not.

Kerry's problems as Will Pitt describes are the Iraqi resolution vote but also the time Kerry had to take off the campaign trail due to his cancer surgury as well as his somewhat wobbly appearances at times immediately following resuming his campaigning I think also hurt him.
