don't worry, plum, no one really likes him. as hillary clinton famously said of him, "you don't have to fall in love, you just have to fall in line." dean would have been a fabulous candidate but would have gone down in flames magnificently. the problem of course is that he is much more representative of what the democratic rank and file believe than john kerry. kerry's tall, speaks slowly and deliberately and has good hair. oh yeah, and he spent amost 4 months in vietnam. did i mention he was in vietnam? well, he was.
i don't think that steadiness will get us out of wher we are right now, plum. i think that the applecart has been kicked over in front of a steamroller and for better or worse, there's no trying to put the apples back. dean i could respect, even as i made merciless jokes at his expense because he truly believed in something. same with kucinich and carole mosely braun. hell, i was even willing to give edwards the benefit of the doubt (and mark my words, he would wiped the floor with gw). but kerry to me is the worst sort of american politician. the kind that stands for nothing but what will get him to the next level. i think that if he'd has a different constituency that he would be a staunch conservative today and probably would have beat out gw for the nod in '00. i think that for better or worse the conflict in which we find ourselves requires someone who can somtimes say, f**k it, we're doing whatever i say we're doing dammit and the hell with what people think. i just cannot see jfk2 ever,
ever being able to do that.
