GReAT INFO. Thanks!

runs off to post it to the Dean blog, if it's not already there


Edit: ooooooo, look at this: I've had my fair share of exposure to Kerry, having spent time covering his policies and politics. I've broken bread with him in Boston and Washington, bought drinks for him, listened to him at a Beacon Hill bar one memorable night as he agonized about whether to get into the 2000 presidential race.

The unvarnished truth is, I want to like him. I want to write positively of him. I want to highlight his great potential, his uncanny ability to grasp the human plight.But then he whines or haplessly hollers or passes blame as he feels every bump, every conceivable slight, along an uncommonly gilded path.

In this campaign, his answers on the famous Iraq vote aren't nuanced, they're ridiculous. His overall message isn't muddled, it's nonexistent. Dean, it appears, entered the race because he wanted to win. Kerry is running because he thought he could win.



And thought the world owed it to him as well.
