We've Heard This BeforeIn the middle of
a noodler on Kerry's possible candidacy in 2008, comes this:
And he's been dogged by bloggers who want him to authorize the release of all his military records, to clear up questions raised in 2004. He told NBC on Jan. 30 that he would sign military form SF-180 to do so, but he hasn't yet. Most of the heat has come from conservatives, but Democratic blogger Mickey Kaus also is on the case, urging party brethren to "remove this increasingly pathetic figure from our national stage." (The word in Washington is that Kerry will sign the form soon.)Sure he will. Let's put it this way. If Kerry signs the form, I'd say it's clear he's not running in 2008, because there's obviously something damaging in those Navy files that Kerry has been trying to hide. But of course, the only reason for signing the form is to get the issue out of the way so he can run in 2008. My guess is he continues to dither, hoping that people will drop the issue.
