Reply #65: Good for Kerry!! [View All]

He should reach out to voters on the right. I don't see this as any different from Dean trying to reach out to Southern and rural voters. It doesn't mean Kerry is changing his platform to suit them; he's just trying to explain what his platform is.

"As for rank-and-file party members, Kerry said his record of strong support for environmental protection, gun control and abortion rights — all core Democratic issues — 'speaks for itself about my priorities in policy terms.'"

That doesn't sound like he's changing who he is.

"Kerry seemed certain that liberals would support him, saying that voters who want better wages, protection for the environment and affordable healthcare would realize that 'we're the right ticket.'"

Neither does that.
