Reply #232: As a Kerry supporter [View All]

[CalProf]

May I just say that this circular firing squad nonsense isn't helping anything?

I want Kerry to win. For the first time in my life I've given much time and energy to a political campaign to help Kerry.

At the same time I have no doubt that a Dean adminstration would be 500% better than Bush on any and all matters dealing with race in America.

There are many areas to criticize Dean on, and as a Kerry supporter I have my share of differences with him. But calling him racist, or to suggest that in a state like Vermont he should have had ten percent African American, etc, etc, in his cabinet is a great waste of energy. Dean wants, at least, to start having a national conversation about race. I've never heard him claim that he has all the answers, but I do applaud that he wants to have the conversation. We should all be on board for that, no matter who gets the nomination.

In my opinion, that is.
