#4 "Kerry cannot afford to take any more time off at the present."
Sure he can. The other former candidates are on board, campaigning for him (most of them, anyhow). Right now all the attention is on the Richard Clarke book and the 9/11 testimony. That's good for at least a week. For people who don't care about politics, the basketball tournaments are occupying their attention. Some states havn't even had their p[rimaries yet. So IMO it makes more sense for Kerry to take the time now, get the problem fixed, rather than wait until  summer when more attention will be focused directly on the elections, all the primaries are over, and the campaigning goes into high gear. If he needs to get his rotator cuff fixed, which is probably causing some pain, this is the time to do it.

Ocelot, usually I agree with you 100%, but I have to take issue here. I think it should be Kerry, not a "surrogate" out there going after the Bushies on theis ClarkE stuff now. He needs to come out often, LOUD, and strong. He needs to look like he's fighting his own battles, and lookint those creeps in the eye and not flinching.
If this was a long-standing injury, he should have never been snow-boarding on his "vacation" (I didn't agree with the timing of THAT either, BTW...), and maybe even should've had this little elective surgery done as part of his downtime.
Frankly, candidate Kerry has been too little-seen and heard as far as I'm concerned.
