I sure hope Kerry takes the advice of Howell Raines, who is completely in touch with the prevailing mood in Greenwich Village and the Upper West Side, but hopelessly lost in most of the rest of America. Even by the standards of silver spoon liberals, this guy's condescension and contempt for the American people is extreme. And what's this crapola about Kerry being the first war hero candidate since JFK? What about Dole? What about Bush the first? I guess churning out garbage like this is what fired newspaper editors do these days.

It is scary that he thinks that Kerry is the first war hero since JFK. Yeah to echo Speedy - what about GHWB and Dole? Didn't Carter even serve? Al Neuharth (founding editor at USA TODAY) was saying that America needed a General President to lead it into war citing George Washington. That was his primary opposition to Bush's action in Iraq. He wasn't honest enough to admit that neither FDR or B Clinton didn't serve. These editors are going crazy with their hatred of Dubya.
