The #1 reason to be behind Kerry other than Edwards for instance? Edwards is a great candidate, wonderful guy and I expect he'll be president someday. But in this grave era of war, post 9-11 and very tough and complex diplomatic problems to unravel, we need Kerry because he's perhaps the top expert in military, intelligence and foreign affairs in the senate. One of the top three or four certainly. And the fact that he's a bona fide war hero makes Bush's posturing as the military macho man a joke.

Bush has two major achilles heels, his domestic failures, mostly economic, and the character/honesty problems, starting with his going AWOL from the Texas Air Guard leading up through Enron and the dozens of broken promises he's made us. The latter Gore let him get away with, but Kerry wont.

The righties are trying desperately to try and somehow tar Kerry's character, but all the attacks are inane and/or trivial. They wont work. Shortly, attention will return to our dismal Bush economy. In the end, all the smoke-screens and diversions ihn the world cannot hide it.

Kerry is also the fiercest and best campaigner and debater in the country, bar none. And he tells the truth, not just a buncha Bushie feel-good slogans and phony photo op backdrops.
