What continues to amuse me is the notion that Bush’s ANG service matters a whit to the American people. There are two questions that voters are asking themselves:

1. Has George W. Bush done a good enough job as President to deserve reelection?

2. If not, is Kerry an acceptable substitute?

The ANG story has nothing to do with either question. On the other hand, the second question allows in just about anything from Kerry’s past. May not seem fair, but that’s life for you.
