Kerry has a history of being a devious political opponent.

I keep thinking of 1972, when Nixon was reelected because the press painted McGovern as an "unelectable" liberal.

In 1972, like now, we were in the middle of a disastrous war and there were rumblings about corruption in the White House. Nixon was reelected anyway.

I don't think that Kerry wants to follow in McGovern's footsteps.

I totally agree that it is what happens after the election that really matters. We need to get serious about health care, alternative energy, and the environment. We need to put back the healthy economy we had before * and his thieving buddies wrecked it.
