I mean MM essentially asked Kerry to send his kids to Iraq because he asked or hinted that all members of Congress who voted for the war, which Kerry did, should do so The implication being Congress does not mind sending other peoples' kids, etc. AND - Kerry's kids certainly are not there So, I do not think the film convinced too many that Kerry was any better than W about Iraq - but, I could be wrong and that is just my opinion
Michael Moore was a walking endorsement for Kerry. The fact is that more people saw him on television saying that we had to vote for the candidate who wasn't Bush than saw the movie. As for the movie itself, he blamed the D's for much of the 2000 fiasco, but them off pretty easy otherwise.
