Kerry officially announces

[clauclauclaudia]

But what we face today -- and what we must change -- is not simply a failure of policy. Today at the center of power, we have a radical ethic that ratifies and glorifies a creed of greed. Once, a great Republican president named Theodore Roosevelt took on those who abused their wealth and power; today's Republican president invites them in for secret meetings, sells out our environment, tolerates their abuses and lets them evade taxes by moving their headquarters to an offshore shelter that is nothing more than a post office box or a mail drop.

Kerry's not my candidate of choice, but he's off to an excellent start.

Yeah, he is looking pretty good. He's certainly someone I can support if he gets the nomination, though so far I'm favoring the Doctor from Vermont.

Yup, Dean is my candidate. I've donated to him and everything.

I'm worried about how much of a factor military service might be, though. Dean/Clark would be my dream ticket, at this point.

I've got to agree wtih you there... I dunno how interested Clark would be in the #2 spot, tho.
