You're right. I DO give Kerry more credit than he might deserve, but both sides are guilty of this. Just look at the last link Adam posted. But getting back to flip-flopping, if Kerry does continually change his position depending on what's most politically favorable at the moment, well, many people think it's politically favorable to get Bush out of the White House and feel this really is a "whatever it takes" kind of election.

If Kerry ends up being a lousy president, then I'll be criticizing him just as harshly as I do Bush. You can count on that.
