Hendrick Hertzberg has an excellent
Talk of the Town column in this week's New Yorker, in which he quotes Tom Schaller's comment on Kos about Kerry's war position reflecting that of the electorate:
"As Tom Schaller, a University of Maryland political scientist, has pointed out, many Democratic voters themselves went through something close to Kerry's own fitful evolution, which took him from agonized support of authorizing force (at a time when the Administration was maintaining that force would be a last resort) to angry denunciation of the war's deceitful prologue and chaotic aftermath."
