Unfortunately for Kerry, he has let the likes of Zel Miller be the 1st to define his record in the Senate and has been conspicuously silent on this topic. At the Dem convention, they made a point not to lower themselves to this level of partisan attacks.

The article above by AM points to the fact that Miller went over the line, undid the notion that the Republicans are giving a positive message and the dems negative. It's time for the Republicans to speak about their record, what they're going to do next term, and bring something substantive to the plate other than bashing Kerry.
