Reply #13: I don't think that thats a fair assessment of who he is today...

And I'm not talking about him reinventing himself again.

He fought longer and harder than anyone could have expected him to given the circumstances. He didn't have the armies of Lawyers with Jets ready to cross the country like Kerry did, he made his stand and yeah it didn't go through. But damnit at least he fought regardless of how unpopular it was back then. He is MY president and in my book he's redemned for all of the times he fell into line for Clinton's right of center policies.

He won't bend in the middle this time because if you listen to he recent speeches its obvious that he's learned his lesson, and understands what it means to stay on the party message.

And one last point, he never said he invented the internet. In his 1999 interview with Wolf Blitzer he said "During my service in the US congress I took the initiate in creating the internet." Meaning that while in the US senate he fought for funding Arpanet, which was later developed as the internet as we know it.

He's a changed man, and I say give him one last shot for the top job.
