I love how campaigns devolve into "who did what" fights. I hate how we will find any excuse to really examine issues in-depth, in a meaningful way.

That said--
1. I don't really care about whether Bush served or not. Let's face it, everyone of his generation was scrambling to find ways not to go to Vietnam. Of course, I wasn't going to vote for him anyway, so it really doesn't matter. But it seems petty to keep whining about it. That's why I question the DNC a lot.
2. Kerry's affair is sleazy. Bush's potential abortion scandal--I don't really see that as much of a scandal. I'm not pro-"family values" (I HATE that term as it's used by its proponents) and I'm pro-choice, so if that is what happened and it's what his girlfriend wanted, more power to her. And him. Does not faze me one bit. It's not even a "scandal". Kerry's affair is sleazy. I don't like leaders who carry on affairs. Doesn't say much about his moral fiber or honesty if it's true, and it would definately make me consider Nader more highly. I never liked Kerry in the first place--I'm a North Carolina girl and I really like Edwards. I'm not really convinced of his qualifications in the first place. If Nader can develop some better policy positions this go-through, I may well vote for him. But he's got to get cracking.

So, ironically, I don't think Bush comes off that bad with these "scandals", but that Kerry does, even though I'm obsessively liberal. More and more, I'm becoming open to Nader again.
