What does it mean to be a Kerry Democrat?

EJ Dionne raises an interesting question in his column (sorry, I didn't feel like finding the original link, so you get it from my hometown Buffalo News reprint). The question: what does it mean to be a Kerry Democrat? I know what a Clinton Democrat is: centrist, moderate and mostly palatable to Middle America. I know what it means to be a Dean Democrat because I am one: relentlessly in favor of good government and bringing more people into the process through a liberal agenda that benefits everyone.

So where is Kerry in this whole mess? Maybe we find that out tomorrow night, but I have to be honest, after having watched his campaign for near two years now, I still can't answer that question with certainty.

Maybe some of you can help me. What does a "Kerry Democrat" look like?
