44. And you're suggesting

that Kerry/Edwards established exactly where Democrats stood on that issue?

People I spoke with were almost universally confused on the Democrats' position on the war, and I confess I just made stuff up when trying to convince them rather than relying on muddled K-E quotes on the subject.

I think Kerry's combination of votes and rhetoric was vague enough for him to play it either way when it came down to the GE, but he couldn't seem to choose either side. At least until the NYU speech, and sometimes after. I don't think pairing with an anti- would have hurt him, if he could have stuck to a clean message.
