Reply #82: I think "cave" meant his Senate votes..like for the war in Iraq

but unlike other Democrats, such as Hillary and Lieberman, Kerry has shown the courage to admit that war resolution was a mistake. I think it was his positions on healthcare reform and his consistant outspokenness against Bush which brought him so close to defeating him in the last election. When compared to candidates like Dukakis and Mondale, Kerry demonstrated in 2004 that he has what it takes for a Democrat to win elections.

"The Democratic Party must stand for health care for all Americans—or we don’t stand for anything at all."

John Kerry is 100% correct on this, and Democrats better be listening to this if they want to win back Congress this year! The only thing he didn't include that I think is essential for Democrats to win this year..holding this criminal President accountable to the law with impeachment. But Kerry deserves some credit, as Bush's last opponent, for not being a sore loser.
