In a Knight Ridder Newspapers campaign trail story from Iowa, Sen. John Kerry's advisers tell Thomas Fitzgerald and Ron Hutcheson that ``Kerry's biggest hurdle may be the reluctance of many undecided voters to `fire' the president in wartime.'' That's interesting. If it is the war in Iraq to which the aides are referring rather than the more nebulous war on terrorism, President Bush's greatest asset in his re-election bid is that he is a wartime president because he started a war.
