"He misspoke recently, and referred to the main architect of Vatican II reforms of the church, Pope John XXII, as Pope Pius XXIII."

Given some of the things Bush has said, this is a gimme.

"And, of course they'll try to smear him for getting an annulment, just like tens of thousands of other Catholics have done."

I can't speak for Catholics, but I'm pretty certain no protestants will worry about this. Not since divorced and remarried Reagan was elected. Too many of us are in the same boat as Kerry to point fingers. When was the last time you saw anyone protesting legalizing divorces?

"They'll bring out his pro-choice stand, even though he says he is opposed to abortion from a moral standpoint."

Surely Kerry's position on abortion is clear from his actions over the last couple of days. On the other hand, I don't know anyone who didn't already take that into account. Anyone to whom that mattered seriously one way or the other knew assumed where Kerry stands and has already made up their minds.
