I see Kerry as a thinking man, willing to constantly re-evaluate an issue and listen to new ideas, rather than pegging a position to the wall and holding to it like grim death......This is the attitude that detractors jump on and gleefully call "flip-flopping". I don't think Kerry's basic feeling about the needs of the country have changed, only his evaluation of what is required to achieve them under various conditions. I only wish he were more able to clearly say this about himself.

(needless to say, I see Bush as "set in concrete" as to his ways of dealing with things....the choice, for me, is easy)
