Andrew Sullivan is pretty devastating on John Kerry's performance in the Wisconsin debate. I say below a variation of the argument that consistency is the hobgoblin of little minds. However, it is also true that Kerry, on a given night, cannot be all over the place on a single issue. It is also what I say again and again. No Democrat is going to win the election by saying that Bush should have been more respectful of the international coalition before he went into Iraq. The argument is that Bush should have been more respectful of the American people. He should have been more honest in his rationale for going to war. He should not be treating us as his royal subjects. Except that he is.
