How to Use Your Former Opponent's Proposals When You're Slipping in the Polls

Earlier today, I reported that John Kerry is supporting Bush's call for a line-item veto. The MSM has been jumping on the news from the White House today about Bush's proposal and some have caught on to where the proposal may have originated...

AP News notes:

Kerry on board

Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., who promoted a similar approach in his presidential campaign against Bush in 2004, immediately jumped on board.

And Reuters adds:

Democratic Sen. John Kerry of Massachusetts, who ran against Bush in the 2004, supported the line-item veto proposal, which mirrored one Kerry had previously proposed.

It must suck being a lame duck with a low approval rate that keeps falling and have to try to gain support from your former opponent. I guess this could be deemed a bit of another Kerry was right moment, but who's counting?
