I have found Doug's work extremely useful, and my opposition to the
ABN tendency doesn't change that.

Kerry's best moments in the Senate are found in his support for
inquiries like that.

Although I've used Kerry's worst moments for purposes of agitation,
my support for Nader/Camejo isn't dependent on how bad Kerry is on
the two key issues in foreign policy now.  I would have supported
Nader/Camejo just as much even if Democratic primary and caucus
voters had voted to nominate Dean or even Kucinich.  It is easier to
drum up support for Nader/Camejo with Kerry as the nominee, though.
