Bush hasn't brought up Kerry's service record.
Kerry has.
Bush has said on more than one occasion that he will NEVER question John Kerry's service record. I would imagine a lot of that has to with his lack of one.
Kerry is the guy that won't talk issues. He hasn't laid out a single plan of action on any of the issues you mentioned. His platform is I'm a war hero and my name is not George Bush. He has nothing else to run on.

Then you obviously didn't watch any of the Democratic National Convention and listened to Keyy's speech. I thought he did a very good job laying out a framework to solving the problems that face the country. I'm waiting for the Republican National Convention to hear what Bush has to say in response.
I'm especially looking forward to the debates to see how the candidates do against each other. I think Bush is the more entertaining and charismatic orator, but I think he's short on substance. Kerry appears to be longer on substance but have zero style. I think it will boil down to style versus substance as to who is more effective. I also feel that it will also boil down to whether George produces any more Bushisms that make him look like a dope.
I'm also looking forward to the vice-presidental debate. The wily veteran warhorse Cheney against the impish young startup Edwards. A clash of style and experiences. I think this could be a deciding factor for a lot of people. I think there are tons of people out there that don't like either candidate and are looking for something to identify with. How Edwards does could be the difference in the undecided vote, essentially being the one shining light in field of grey.
