God, How I miss Howard Dean as my nominee. I miss the clarity of his positions on Iraq and how they so clearly coincided with my own views. I miss how he would issue press releases every few days that eloquently and passionately expressed what all of his supporters were feeling. Now that the Iraq war is going worse than ever expected, I am looking for our democratic leader to be a pillar of moral strength and clarity in these uncertain times. I look to Kerry and I get none of what I loved so much in Howard. What little fire Kerry had while running for his life against Howard, seems now to have gone out completely. Someone needs to tell Kerry to start being a leader and stop being a politician.
