I hope Kerry's speech yesterday on the Iraq war and the broader war against jihad indicates that, at long last, he's realized that this campaign will be won or lost on national security. Health care is important, yes, as are fiscal sanity, jobs, and environmental protection, but it's screamingly obvious that national security is not only the most salient issue with voters right now, it's an issue on which President Cakewalk is vulnerable.
