At campaign stops, voters expressed confusion: Kerry had voted for the resolution, but then criticized the prewar diplomacy. Was he for the war or against it? It gave his opponents an opening. Last month, a Democratic rival, retired Gen. Wesley K. Clark, slammed Kerry: "The American people . . . don't want a follower who makes decisions by licking his finger and sticking it up in the wind."

Republicans also have seized on it. Kerry's Iraq vote, said Christine Iverson of the Republican National Committee, was just one in a string of reversals. Iverson said that Kerry voted for the USA Patriot Act, but now says it is an assault on civil liberties; voted against the Persian Gulf War, but later said he supported it; voted against the $87 billion for troop support and Iraqi reconstruction, while maintaining that he supports the troops and Iraqi reconstruction; and voted for the No Child Left Behind Act, which he now criticizes.

"John Kerry's decisions are guided by political expedience rather than a core set of values," she said.
