It seems that Kerry may be learning a lesson from his former running mate, John Edwards. Edwards was one of the first--if not, the first--Senators to publicly express his regret for his earlier vote on the use of force in Iraq. On June 11, a Des Moines Register poll was released, in which Iowans were asked to state the Democratic presidential candidate that they preferred. Edwards led his potential rivals with 30% of the respondents choosing him, followed by Clinton with 26% and Kerry with 30%.
Coincidentally, a few days after that poll was released, Kerry changed his position on his vote.
