Bobert,

As you know, I agree with you on much of this, and wish the Dem nomination had turned out differently. I just believe in the "burning house" theory at the moment, and see voting for Kerry as a form of triage.

But to point out one problem in your logic, if Kerry TELLS us how he plans to overcome a Republican congress, then the Republican congress will know in advance what tactics he plans to use. Might as well announce in advance his every campaign move, so Bush can clobber him better. Kucinich's extremely detailed plans were great--except they had no chance of ever being enacted, even if he WON.
