Moving forward, I would urge all Democrats to stay united against the right-wing, and to work as hard as possible towards defeating them. For that, we all -- progressives, moderates, conservatives -- need to avoid the infamous "circular firing squad." I apologize if I have done anything to promote said squad, of if I have offended my fellow Democrats by attacking John Kerry.
Let me just say that I believe John Kerry is a good man who would have made an infinitely better president than George W. Bush. I agree with John Kerry on 90%+ of the issues, and believe him to be a man of integrity. I am proud that I campaigned for him, and proud that I cast my vote for him.
Having said that, I sincerely hope the Democrats select a different candidate in 2008, preferably one with appeal in the South (and other "red states"). Someone, perhaps, like Wes Clark, John Edwards, or Mark Warner.
With that, I return to Kilgore bashing and Kaine Raising.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Lowell
