"On the other hand, I think most Democrats believe that Kerry is going to be more inclined to their way of thinking on the economy, health care and schools than President Bush."

Funny thing is the President has little power over those issues.

Economy? Either you are elected on an upswing or a downturn, luck of the draw.

Health care? My group plan went up over 200% in 18 months, has nothing to do with the President.

Schools? Not only not a federal issue, but also largely not a state issue, depends on individual school districts. The school boards are in control, not the President or Governor.

How many Presidents have campaigned on education, yet education doesn't get any better? Every President in my lifetime. The President has very limited powers.

We will see who he picks for vp. I cannot see Hillary wanting to wait eight more years before she can run for president. Therefore, is Kerry a token candidate? does Hillary and bill give support up front but hold back their support to get out the vote?
