Try to catch The Sesno Report: The Costs of War. I was on PBS here in Conn after the Frontline you're watching. It's spectacular!

4. Excellent show...
You're likely watching Frontline's "The Choice 2004"

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/shows/choice2004


I'm part-way through it, and it *is* excellent, thus far. Kerry's and Bush's early histories are starkly different when presented side-by-side.

7. That clip of Kerry in the Senate
Man, did he nail that one! It totally backed up his stance that he was just giving * negotiating power, and he predicted so much of what's happening now.

9. This is an excellent documentary. I saw it twice.
It's the most in-depth documentary I've seen about Kerry, & the fact that it focuses on both Kerry's & the coWard's lives is just icing on the cake for us who support Kerry.

One part that I found enlightening about the documentary was what the Massachusetts governor who lost a senatorial race to Kerry years ago said about Kerry. He was very complimentary about Kerry's character. He said that during the campaign his people delved into Kerry's record in the senate hoping to find a lot of damaging votes. He said they found nothing. He said that Kerry was the type to look way ahead & that it was apparent that his votes were cast with his ambitions in mind (I'm p/p'ing). The governor pointed out that this wasn't a bad thing; quite the contrary, he said.
