"Can anyone give us any indication of how Kerry would function as president based upon his 20 year senate record?"

Sure. Based on his senate record, he would be unlikely to use biological or nuclear weapons. He also wouldn't see a space-based anti-missile system as essential. He would support use of the military when he thinks it worthwhile, although he wouldn't rush to war. He doesn't seem to be a supporter of the death penalty, a proven deterrent of terrorists. I don't think he would be seeking the help of the contras.

And above all, he would be try very hard to keep from running up tremendous deficits while doing it...

I keep telling people that if they want to see how Kerry would function as POTUS, they should look at the great job former governor Gray Davis did in California.

Those who think Kerry is a moderate are fooling themselves, because when push comes to shove, Kerry will remember where his radical base of support lies, and he will be forced to cater to them. And that suits the Teds, the Als, and the "independent" JFs of this world just fine.
