CACTUS FLOWERS - American Spectator Presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Sen. John Kerry ran as a liberal in the primaries, now he's apparently decidedly to flip-flop to the center. On Friday, he will address the Democratic Leadership Council conference in Arizona. His decision to pander to the center-left of the Democratic Party isn't really the news coming out of the DLC meeting. It's the man introducing Kerry who will raise all the eyebrows. Kerry asked that DLC head Al From have Sen. Evan Bayh serve as the introductory speaker before he takes the podium. Kerry's request angered Gov. Bill Richardson, who had been led to believe that he would be the man calling out Kerry's name. Richardson had apparently lobbied for the honor, but Bayh, as DLC chairman, was the natural option, and Kerry asked for his Senate colleague. The significance of Bayh is really only due to the fact that he has been mentioned as a potential running mate for Kerry, and he has been the least visible of the names mentioned on Kerry's vetting list. Both Richardson and Iowa Gov. Tom Vilsack are scheduled to be at the DLC event. Recall also that Al Gore plucked a DLC leader, Sen. Joe Lieberman, as his running mate.
