is it the be all and end all of the election?

It could be a tipping point for undecided voters. The unveiling of GWB's OUI arrest just before the 2000 election certainly swayed some against him. All those issues you mention are very important, but the significance of the SwiftVet controversy vis-a-vis Iraq, or health care, or education is that it frames Kerry's character and his answers. If the centerpiece of his campaign is a fraud, how (or why) should we trust any of his answers on any issue? That is how undecided voters may react. Kerry partisans, of course, will say that the SwiftVets are liars, etc. So far, though, there doesn't seem to be to have been much coverage of this, except on the Web and some talk shows. Can't really tell what the impact will be.
