You know what, for the dems it doesn't matter. They could put anyone but Bush up and they would vote for him. Kerry could be the most inarticulate (flip-flop), be rocked with Scandal (Berger), and the dems will still vote for him. Sad, but true.
I was just talking to my wife tonight about this. We have many liberal friends, and there is no hope for them. However, we are having some success in reaching out to our more moderate liberal friends who are now leaning toward Bush way because of issues like illegal immigration. And, the fact that Kerry is a puppet with no babkbone on issues.
