12. I wonder how many regret not voting for Kerry?
Kind of a shame that the race wasn't in this cycle....Kerry with a Democratic majority would have been perfect. I think Kerry ran in 2004 with the expectation that he'd have a hostile Congress to deal with, so he tried to appeal to Republican moderates...he would have needed a significant plurality to make a case for change. A squeaker election with the Republican's in charge and a clearly hostile MSM would have been brutal on any Democratic President. Who knows how the dynamics would have played in this cycle? Anyways, 2008 is a whole new ballgame....I expect investigations and real election reform...we have Ohio back from Republican control and it looks like they'll be in the D column for POTUS. Republicans are defending a lot of Senate seats, so 2008 is shaping up to be the year we finally get our country back.

If Kerry runs, I'll happily support him in the primary. I'll happily support whoever the Democrat is in the general...
