Kerry = Powerful Politician?

I've never paid much attention to John Kerry, even though I'm originally from Massachusetts. But the more I see him in this presidential race, the more I'm seeing that he is a very savvy and astute politician. He seems to be listening and learning as the race moves along-- in fact, one pundit who rode along with him told a story about how a much younger campaign aide was chastising Kerry about this or that technique, and how Kerry took the advice seriously, accepted it, and adapted. I'm also hearing about how he made smart choices when his campaign was considered dead in the water a month or two ago, and how they have paid off (obviously).

He does carry some of the same airs that made Michael Dukakis a weak candidate, but not nearly as much so. And he has a lot of strengths to counter that effect with. He has the powerful dual-barrel impact of being both a decorated war hero, and a prominent war protestor.

Not that there aren't problems with John Kerry. For one, he offers very little for the Dean and Kucinich supporters who want real change.
