57. And this postition amazes me
Given that Kerry gets higher marks than Edwards from Human Rights Campaign, voted against DOMA, got the backing of the ALF-CIO (hardly an anti-progressive policy org.) gets higher marks on environmental issues than ANY other candidate and has used his vote more times than not to vote against policies that were anti-progressive.

He took a beating here for his interference on behalf of the funding of the "Big Dig" but I think all those jobs were UNION jobs that were in jeopardy of being lost.

He drafted the legislation that was to monitor offshore banking.

While I don't dislike Edwards, you are going to tell me that a person who believes in this war is more principled than a person who feels he was lied to about key issues concerning that vote?

Again, I don't dislike Edwards but this is a man that literally began campaigning for President from the moment he got to the senate...but somehow Kerry is framed as the opportunist?
