I sincerely appreciate this remark and wish more Democrats felt this way.
Kerry is out of touch with the heartland, which has consistently rejected what it perceives as an intellectual snobbery in the North East and a sea of crime, immorality and new-age chicanary in LA-LA land (California) in the west. If Hillary is picked in 2008, I predict the same result for the same reasons.
No, the Dems need to field someone who can be a centrist and attract those of us who voted not for Bush, but against Kerry.
Unfortunately, such a candidate is unlikely to be popular with the two controlling groups of the Democratic party mentioned above.
