re: #197 Be Zorch, Daddio
Kerry’s famous quote was explaining how he voted in a specific Senate committee vote. It was the perfect Republican attack- a gotcha moment combined with a lack of civics knowledge.
Of course, Romney doesn’t have that excuse.
It wasn’t so much a lack of knowledge as just latching onto the quote and attacking. It made Kerry look ridiculous and he couldn’t really argue the point without having to give explanations that were far too long for a sound bite.
