Reply #41: I think he is more valuable as a Senator

[MindMatter]

I know AG is an important position, but it is a limited term. We have lost, or will be losing a generation of progressive leaders in the Senate. We need Kerry's intellect and philosophical leadership in that important body. With Ted and Byrd having some severe health setbacks, we need a strong progressive voice to fend off the DINOs that seem to be everywhere in the Senate.

Basically, we need ten strong years from Kerry to give us the opportunity to get some help for Webb and the newer generation. We have to be firing on all cylinders to take this country back. Everyone has a role to play. Just look at Dean. Many of us were disappointed when his Presidential bid ended, but look at what he has been able to do in the role he found. Look at what Gore and Carter have been able to do. I think the place for Kerry is right where he is -- now more than ever.
