For all the problems with The New Republic, they still have some of the best political reporting out there. This is a great piece of Kerry oppo and how he could be easy fodder for the Bushies:

I won't say he's um, unelectable, but the thought of having to hear a Kerry SOTU speech gives me the willies.
The voting down of the $500 child tax credit in 1996 i find the most interesting since we know Kerry has made it a point to contrast his tax stance with those tax raisers Dean and (former) Gephardt. I knew it was pure political pandering and this interesting fact just sort of proves it. Hopefully the other campaigns can wack him on it.
