"We know, we know, you were in 'Nam"

That's the title of this New Republic article on how Kerry has worn out his best angle:

It has become clear that the Kerry campaign will now relentlessly flog its major comparative advantage: Its candidate is a Vietnam veteran with a chest-full of medals. And if you miss this point the first time, the Kerry campaign will make sure that you catch it the second and the third.

By the way, on "General Likeability" TNR gives Kerry a grade of a "D". Hat tip to Duck Season.
