"Bush will zero in on Kerry's 20-year voting record in the Senate..."
FOX reported this on their news this morning. If that is true, I hope Kerry brings up BCCI and the terrorist banks and the Iran-Contra investigations. And I hope he brings up George W Bush's connections to some of hte characters in the BCCI scandal...Kerry should be ready for this tactic, as well as he should be ready if someone asks him a question about "3 mistakes' he has made in the past....

1. Oh please
They've been "zeroing in" on it since day one. This is nothing new.

2. or kerry could challenge shrub's last 20 year record
worst administration in history, dubious term and a half as ceremonial head of texas government, and before that, failed businesses, insider trading, and alcohol and possibly drug dependency.

6. Excellent point. At one of the debates (VP?), education in Texas
was brought up...how great *'s programs had been for it. That statement went unchallenged.

8. his governor's record is much like his current record
First, remember that in Texas the real power is the lieutenant governor. The governor signs or vetoes legislation and signs death warrants (surprised he didn't get carpal tunnel from that chore). He vetoed several bills while governor that were later passed over his veto by the legislature. When the laws turned out to be needed legislation, Bush was quick to claim credit for them. Much like Homeland Security, the 9/11 commission and others which he strongly opposed, then claimed credit for when they happened despite his opposition.

5. Kerry HAS to address his voting record .... I believe ths is his achilles
heel. I think he has to be ready to unload with both barrels on not only Bush, but the BFEE and Kerry's role in trying to take it down. I HOPE and PRAY that is his 'October Surprise'.

7. Bush has NO RECORD TO RUN ON

More smoke and mirrors from the Shrub campaign as they have nothing of substance to run on.

12. Yeah, out-of-context BS
Anyone with 20 years of votes in the Senate has voted on both sides of any issue at least once, thanks to the convoluted bills that get written. Thanks to riders all sorts of unrelated issues get put into bills to appease a corporate lobbyist or two.
