Goes both ways..
Appears that the Democrats don't have a monopoly on conspiracy theories:
Hopefully the GOP will have the wisdom to avoid endorsing such stuff. Even if Kerry did fake his presidential fluff peice 33 years ago, It is going to be hard to sell the non-partisan voter on the conspiracy theory.
Credibility is a pretty important asset, and it should not be wasted on this kind of stuff. Let Kerry's Vietnam comrades have their 15 minutes of fame if they want it, but I don't think the campaign should talk about this.
