He's been disgusted with democrats for a while now. Do you not watch him on the Beltway Boys or read his columns?

Recall Mort was appalled by Madeline's statement in the green room before one of the news shows, and he's not recovered from that.

Mort is a decent democrat who's above the fray of "gotcha, down-and-dirty" politics.

Abortion and stem cell research do prohibit Mort and others from seeing the big picture: national security and a lame-ass, dangerous pol like Kerry.

If we had to depend on votes from Republicans only, GOP candidates would never win an election.

I think that's more difficult with someone like Kondracke who has a wife who might have benefited from it. I know that it would be a lot more difficult for me. I think he's getting there, though. Fred Barnes seems to have taken him on as his personal project!

Yes, I've watched his increasing ability to call it like it is. However, when push comes to shove, he'll hold his nose and vote for Kerry. We can't pick off votes from the dyed-in-the-wool Dems like Mort, who only claims to be a "moderate." Truth is, I am thankful for REAL moderates - those are the only votes that can be swayed.
