Perhaps someday a Republican will be allowed on PBS.

Kerry failed to generate the landslide he would have needed to overcome the Bush Faction's election-skewing machinery -- although it is very likely that Kerry would have won the election anyway had Ohio's votes been counted fairly. But here too he folded and refused to fight, choosing, like Al Gore before him, not to risk his insider status with a serious, genuine challenge to the system.

I'll support him if Hillary's in charge of healthcare ashis plan is not universal. At a time when the the Democrats control thesenate and will control the Precidency, rather that take advantage and be bold he settles on a mandate only for parents to get health insurance 4 their children, not even themselves. It's not enough to lower prices, as many healthy young people will opt out feeling they don't need it, and then end up in a car accident in the emergency room without insurance.
