It his me while driving home from work last night; John Kerry will make a great Commander in Chief.
At this point you are probably saying DUH, but stick with me for a minute. I think Dean would have made a better president, and Edwards a better campaigner, but Kerry, of all the potential candidates, is truly my first choice for Commander in Chief. And I don't think this distinction is trivial. Kerry's experience, political savvy, intelligence and resolve rally make him perfect to lead this country in a time of war. This should also be the point that we drive home to the country.
We are killing them on all the issues, jobs, economy, healthcare, environment, choice, etc, except for the war and terrorism. I heard an NPR report yesterday that single moms are moving to Bush because they think he can handle the "war on terror" better. While this seems unthinkable to us that know how bad Bush has screwed up Iraq and the fact that we are less safe than before, I believe the reason for the perception is that we have not pushed the meme: Kerry will make a great Commander in Chief.
