DEEP

OK. See 'FOR' below. I am already thinking about it. We are being given, right now, a demonstration of the kind of attack machine that will be on-going when Kerry is President. It is aimed at Bill Clinton as it has been for all these twelve or more years. It will continue. He will have to be smart and good at political combat. Small FOR: so far the bushies have spent half their war chest attacking Kerry and he is still standing and moving forward. That is resilience. He has the same stuff as Clinton. He just uses it differently.

Now this is the big FOR I thought of:the canard of 'flip-flop' - Kerry is actually not an indictment. It is a cartoon of the depth of intelligence this guy has and the ability to use it. Take a look at the LATimes article the other day about the Kerry decision making process: For Kerry, Decisions Are Only Found In the Details.

Contrast this with a guy who does not even understand the problems, let alone think about them. Junior is not a thinker. He stays the course. He does not budge. He is an ideologue. He does not err. These are all a front for the fact that this administration has been one of the least competent in history.

Kerry will bring a broad based intellect and competence in governance back into the executive branch. He will be a flexible and pragmatic leader. He will appoint and use a broad base of thinkers and doers with a vast reservoir of experience. Some of his advisers have been with him for over 20 years. He brings depth. He is not the captive of his advisers, he leads and provokes them. He is the anti-puppet.

OK. I did it. I thought about a FOR. One big fucking FOR too.
