LOL, and thanks. I call them as I see them, as honestly as I can, and try to do so without undue partisanship. In this case, the facts as we know them so far dictated a "rant" in my mind. But of course, I don't think I am a typical voter. We shall see.

It is an amazing story to add to the puzzle of John Kerry. It really highlights the problem the Dems have. They were so focused on getting the primaries out of the way they didn't have a vetted candidate after Dean and Clark imploded. When it came down to Edwards and Kerry they appear to have panicked and went for "experience". Experience is a two edged sword in politics.

That's exactly what I meant. You are fairer than most of us.
