I draw attention to the review of Senator Kerry's record by liberal Democrats in the above two posts.

It seems to me that nearly all Democrats would much prefer it if no US voters looked this closely at John Kerry's record. Because if people did really examine Kerry's record, they would see just how conservative and in step with the radical right his voting record and position on the issues truly are, rather than what "anybody but Bush" Democrats would like everyone to believe.

The "anybody but Bush" Democrats are unthinkingly and uncritically rushing to the right when they support Kerry as "the most electable" candidate. Even a cursory examination of Kerry's Senate record will show that having him as the new boss will be pretty much the same as keeping the old boss.
