In the 2004 primaries, it was Kerry who made very very few gaffes. I don't think there were many Edwards ones either - because he repeated verbetim the same speech day in day out.

The only Kerry ones I know were - the Grand Canyon, the 87 billion (which was said after he explained the combination of votes beautifully - and someone persisted.) and this one. Given that he was monitored as he spoke up to 16 hours a day - that's not bad.

I think Hillary made a gaffe when she let the NY Daily News push her to take a position where McCain can claim to be more anti- torture than she is. That loses a major strategic point if they compete. (While a Kerry/McCain match - will disclose the deceptive, sneaky and cynical compromise for what it was - "This bill allows torture." Can't get clearer than that.)

No one to the left of Russ Limbaugh really thinks Kerry isn't concerned for the troops.
