If only it would work that way. Unfortunately this is a very isolated issue that only happened because it works to Kerry's advantage. It's not so much about being political suicide in this case but more about trying to get one up on the opposition. There would be no repercussion to Kerry if he didn't make this declaration. By making it he only hopes to improve his perception to voters.
