For a progressive, I'm surprised you would make the same sort of self-righteous accusation against Kerry that the Repugs made against Clinton.

I'm sure Kerry's made some mistakes, but overall he's been a pretty good Senator, as well as a brave soldier who fought against the war.

While I supported (and gave money to) Dean, the fact is, he's lost. I did not support him because he's some big progessive, but because he ran the best campaign up until the media decided to end it for him. Except on civil unions for gays, he's not as progressive as he sounds. Let's remember he's from the whitest state in the nation and one of the least unionized states in the nation, so on many issues he has not been tested. He's also from the most liberal states in the nation, yet he's a fiscal conservative.

Right now, Kerry is the front runner and is wooing independents and Vets with real success. If we want Bush out of the White House, it may take someone like Kerry.
