5. When he ran in 2004 it was part of his platform
I don't think he would have changed his mind about it.

7. Kerry not allowed near a microphone, McCain more or less has a network TV reality show
because everytime I turn the TV on, there he is.

9. Yep, the Teabaggers are more fun to look at so they get more air time
Our media has really lost its way.

16. To be fair, McCain is jumping in front of every camera or microphone he sees
All Kerry has to do to vanish by comparison is, well, not do that.

15. Those focused on the importance of this issue have known he's a STRONG public option supporter
and has been pushing for Kennedy's HELP bill in committee - one of the reasons that Baucus froze him out after awhile.

He is also working on Afghanistan and Pakistan policy for SFRC and is the pointman on Climate Change Bill as head of SFRC along with Barbara Boxer and her committee.
