Kerry did not have to say if he feels Bush is a good person or a bad person. He could simply discuss Bush's policies.

Yet he made a concious decision to say that Bush is a good guy. Either he means it, or he doesn't. If he does mean it, he can go to hell - Bush is not a good guy, and anyone who says he is will never be able to see the reality of what is happening to America.

If he doesn't mean it, he's giving a false impression that he does like Bush. He is pandering. And, again, that's not the candidate for me.

All of this could have been avoided had Kerry simply not made a comment on Bush's character one way or the other. Yet he did, and his own words are what damn him, in my estimation. You are totally free to feel otherwise - I'm fine with that. I'm just trying to point out, why say it if he didn't have to? That's all.
