but right now, in January 2005 I'm definitely a Kerry backer. For those who say "at least Gore put up a fight", that's because the election was LEGALLY close enough for him to do it, and (supposedly) he wouldn't look like a fool for doing it. Of course the rethugs tried to make him look like one anyway. Kerry's OFFICIAL, ie LEGAL count was nowhere near those of Gore, so he had NO LEGAL STANDING.

It's easy to say that Dean would have fought, Clark would have fought - they weren't in the position to, and had they been, I really doubt that they would have. Not if they wanted to keep their political integrity.

It's easy to say Kerry should have fought, but, had he fought, he, as well as the democratic party, would have been the losers. If you don't have what you need LEGALLY it's not gonna work, and you're gonna look like a fool, unless you own the media, which the democratic party doesn't.

Anyone who doesn't understand that needs to study this regime a little more IMO. Kerry has emerged with his integrity intact (obviously not with a few DU'ers), but with the people he really needs it to be intact with, to make any effective change. Watch and see - I think maybe you'll learn that.
