23. Heads up:
There are way more than 12 democrats "bugged" by Kerry.

I started out with Kerry ranked # 3 among the large pack of primary candidates. I liked his lifetime record in the senate.

As long as I didn't look at the last few years.

I started noticing things that concerned me during the debates.

So far, I haven't met a single democrat in person that "likes" John Kerry enough to be excited about him. For the most part, they have accepted his nomination, and are planning, somewhat grimly, to support him. I count myself in that camp. I'll be voting for him. I will campaign for him after the convention and formal selection.

The most recent quote, from a lifetime "yellow dog" democrat: "I guess we're stuck with Kerry."

I agree that Kerry needs to win big in November; I think he will. I'll be thrilled to evict * even if I'm not comfortable with his replacement. But I won't pretend that something is ok when it is not; I hope that people uncomfortable with Kerry's viewpoints on issues continue to make themselves heard.
