NOEL, IS THIS WHAT YOU WERE LOOKING FOR?
"THE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM IS THAT BUSH HAS DESTROYED HIMSELF AS AN INTERNATIONAL FIGURE."
Duh, so replace him with an adequate replacement, which John Kerry will never be.

Bush has irreparably damaged our nation in the eyes of the world, but especially in the Arab world.....
~~ WRONG ET he has proved that America doe what America SAYS !
It's not enough for us to elect Kerry the next president.
~~ yes that will weaken the view of America in the eyes of the United Nations imo a War Prtoester who protested against his OWN country and He should be allowed to be our President ??
Yeah, we must kiss the butt of His Highness.

He will GET my respect when he EARNS it, and he hasn't at all earned it at this point. In fact, he almost WRECKED his longshot candidacy with the delayed nomination proposal.
Get real. Not everybody thinks like you do and thinks Kerry is God.

...I think that will either allianate Kerry more so or at least make him jealous (as if he isn't already) of John Edwards's firm grassroots support and wild popularity. and for sure go the opposite way of JRE !
with a Washington insider and BIG Ego BILLLIONAIRE like John Kerry does anyone really Think that Kerry will care one WHIT one 'the People' want ?!
I for one do not see Kerry as a person who is necessarily "For the People" but as a ego-trip money -man who, by some 'sicko' twist of fate got the most votes in the primaries.
I agree that if anyone wants to see JRE on the ticket, however they should be (must be) nice to Kerry. etc etc. but I am with Susan Nunes..I believe in honesty first and last and I personally cannot fathom Kerry as the president.
I may be the only odd 'man' out but I am holding out hope for some 'magical moment' to occur which shall catapult John Edwards right into 1st place on the Dem National Ticket.
Edwards the real candidate for President!

Note from Armymom:  You won't see any anti-Kerry stuff on the Clark blog.  
Edwards doesn't need abundant foreign policy experience.
He already has more than Bush or Clinton had when they were elected.
Edwards/Sam Nunn would be everything this country needs.
Nunn is so valued in the International/Foreign Policy realm that he has a foreign policy school named after him.
That "no foreign policy experience" crap used against John Edwards was nothing but bologna. He doesn't need an overwhelming amount of it to win.
Clinton had less than Bush 1 did and Bush 2 had less than Gore did.
Edwards inspires, and that's what Americans look for in a leader, and that's the type of leaders that Americans rally around. Kerry doesn't inspire, and in 2000, neither Bush or Gore did, so people voted for the person that they thought they liked the most.
I agree with the anonymous poster, Edwards should be the nominee, and Kerry is a joke.
If Edwards is so good, and he is, why is he not the democratic nominee that we all wanted in the first place? Kerry is not who we want as a leader. The media may have said Kerry is out in front, but the people did not.
The media made up everyones mind by spotlighting Kerry only. Who runs most of the media? Right wing, neoconservatives that's who. Why would they push Kerry to the front? They believe he is beatable. They know Edwards is not.
Senator John Edwards, step up to the plate and hit one out of the park for the American people. Be the man we wanted in the first place. You are our leader of choice. As is your wife. She would do us proud as first lady.
Edwards and McCain 2004. That is the ticket that will win the election. Think about it.

The negative stuff about Kerry is not negative.
It's factual!

Nah, Democratic primary voters just made a poor choice and the bandwagon out of New Hampshire was too much for JRE given Clark and the media's obsession with the "it's all but over" story.
Bush and Cheney have no military experience FYI.
People dated Dean, and then mistakenly married the "transition" Kerry (looking for stability, even if it was dead boring).
Given the poor state of the Kerry campaign (unbelievable, the strategy seems to keep a low profile throughout the campaign), I think most Dems are reconsidering their vote. But, it's too late.
Yes, I know, people here want everyone to put on their smile faces, but I for one am still sick to my stomach that we ended up with such an uninspiring candidate with only a long-shot chance of winning.
Maybe JRE at VP can help, but I'm just for it because of what it does for JRE when Kerry loses.
Kerry is not it. We can rally all we want. He is not the desired candidate.
Just because the media says so? The polls show Edwards with the same approval rating as Mother Teresa. How is that not electable.
Come on people. We don't have to pick the least of two evils. Lets pick who we want. Lets set a precedent like none other.
Have both parties be elected to the same ticket. The two candidates that can reach across party lines and accomplish good for this country and the world.
Lets get people into the White House that care about our future. Our environment and our commerce. It goes hand in hand. We must make a stand now, or we will lose our democracy and become a gloom and doom society that perpetrates war, anger and fear. As well as, the biggest possible gap between rich and poor.
We don't want or need that. Lets spend our money on educating our children, so they will have the knowledge and tools to raise our country right. Without sides. With the best intentions for everyone. Not just for greed.
Edwards has that ability. How can we change our course? By our voice! It is never too late.
