Kerry for President

Yes, I was heavy into Dean. Even after Billmon abandoned Dean when he backed off his Israeli-Palestinian position, I was still going to hang with Howard. Lets give props to Dean for being out there and giving a backbone to our side to speak the truth about the Bush administration. Also Dean had fully embraced the internets and allowed people like me to know him better than the other candidates.

Since John Kerry won the Democratic nomination I've had the chance to learn a lot more about him. With every negative attack leveled by the Bush campaign I would go a look into that attack and generally find Kerry to be an amazing guy. You can call him ugly, rich, elitist or whatever you want, but it will not change who John Kerry is and what he can do for this country. Then I saw Going Upriver: The Long War of John Kerry and was even more impressed with him and what he could accomplish for a movement.

Do I think that once he is in office the White House press briefings will suddenly be filled with clear and simple answers to the reporters questions? No. Do I think that everything he wants to accomplish will get through Congress? No. Do I think that the media machine that was created to grind up Bill Clinton will be mothballed and no trained on Kerry? No.

John Kerry and John Edwards have a daunting 4 years ahead of them. But I believe John Kerry is going to make a great president and Edwards will bring a welcome lack of corporate corruption to the office of Vice President.
