The Restoration

The Washington Post has an analysis arguing that Kerry is running not as a change agent, but for the return to the (successful) past of the 1990's. That should work for domestic issues, as long as he can convince voters he can handle the national security issues.

But will John Kerry be willing or able to govern from the center

I doubt if he has the political skills that Clinton had and I doubt if he is willing to so compromise his liberal convictions

Of course running from that platform doesn't mean he has any intention of governing that way once he wins. And it's all about winning.

That's why I hope Kerry wins, but one branch of Congress, preferably the Senate, stays Republican. He'll have to be centrist.

Write in Barak Obama who supports one United States of America with no caveats or sidesteps, no spin required.

Sorta with you on that, Rick. I like divided government. Not sure that's the way I'd want it divided, but I want it divided. One-party rule quickly sucks, and I don't care which party it is.
