Those would be the people who are too lazy to find out themsleves. They want to be TOLD how to feel & what to think by Dan Rather & others of his ilk, IMHO.
Kerry not wanting to give up his senate seat is enough to convice me that he is convinced he isn't winning in November.
I think the RATS decided that this is a throw away election and will not risk Hillarys 100 mil and a senate seat. Kerry loses and goes right back to the senate. With Edwards not running for reelection, this would now seem to be the logical choice for VP.
