"I guess it's a foregone conclusion by many rad types that if
you have a lot of money you can't be on the side of the working
man or woman."

Not a foregone conclusion, simply your assumption. And considering how many wealthy people the radical left has backed over the years, including Nader and Howard Dean, I'd say you might want to re-examine your assumptions in that regard. It is entirely possible to be opposed to this particular candidate's wealth and privleged background, if we think it has unduly influenced his votes. Many leftists believe that to be the case. But it looks as if Kerry's supporters are a pretty intolerant lot when it comes to differences of opinion. Which means they are likely pretty unsure as to what exactly their man will actually do, if elected.

"Reversing the reverse Robin Hood of the Bush years."

Really? Where has John Kerry said that? He voted for welfare reform, after all. NAFTA ain't exactly about redistribution of wealth.

"Black people by in large will support him."

I don't understand what that is supposed to mean. Are you suggesting that everyone should vote for Kerry because many black voters will vote for Kerry? What the hell kind of recommendation is that supposed to be?
