39. Sen. Kerry is the nominal leader of the Democratic party, so yes it is |

Of course he's not the "True" leader of the Democrats, which would be a position akin to the proverbial cat herder. But the media and the American people perceive him as the opposition leader. Ever day he holds back strengthens the legitimacy of a republican "mandate". His silence is taken as tacit approval.
We go into each congressional session with the politicians we have, not the ones we might want. If Kerry thinks someone else is going to step up to do this for him, maybe he shouldn't have run for the presidency at all.
