What I'm saying is that having staffers say that Kerry supports the resolution is in fact the expression of a fairly lukewarm degree of support; kind of like saying that he supports Feingold's right to offer such a resolution, or that he appreciates Feingold's passion, and just slightly more fervent than saying that he likes Feingold's tie. If Kerry actually came out and personally made a statement of support for the resoultion--on the record--that would indicate another level of commitment, no? And the big, obvious way to send a clear message of support is to offer to co-sponsor Feingold's resolution, which I'm pretty sure Kerry hasn't done. Which leads to the obvious question: how come? What political calculus does he need to work out before he can get on board?
