Quirk in campaign finance law puts Democrats at disadvantage.
Byline: Bill Lambrecht
BOSTON _ A casual listener might have concluded from Sen. John Kerry's acceptance speech at the Democratic National Convention that he'd been wandering in the Vietnam jungles before showing up in Des Moines to run for president.
Images of Vietnam were much in evidence, too: Film of speedy patrol boats throwing out wakes in the Mekong Delta. Kerry hugging crewmates and the Green Beret he yanked from the enemy-held Bay Hap River. Kerry saluting the nation as if still on active duty.
Scarcely in his speech was there mention of his 19 years in the Senate, a resume gap that President Bush began to fill on a campaign stop in Missouri less than 12 hours after balloons brought the Democratic gathering to a close. "No significant record," was how Bush summed up Kerry's tenure on key issues in the Senate since he went to Washington in 1985.
"My opponent has good intentions, but intentions do not always translate to results," the president said, sniffing at the Democrats' "clever" speeches in Boston.
A new round of sharp-edged Republican campaigning is just one challenge Kerry must face in the coming weeks after Democrats concluded what was widely pronounced a successful, nearly glitch-free convention.
