Really I think the greater issues for Kerry could be a bounce Bush gets from the UN resolution <15-0> supporting the new government in Iraq, and how whatever agreements come out of the G8 summit, could minimize Kerry's message of assembling a coalition of the willing to get us out of Iraq.

Regardless of political ideology, all the eulogies on TV do make me yearn for a time when people were a little more civil with each other than they are nowadays. I know, my memories are faded, but it is kind of weird, it seems as though more and more people don't respect the art of disagreement and compromise.

I consider myself truly middle of the road kind of person much like a cross between a Schwarzenegger Republican or a Lieberman Democrat, and would like to believe the majority of the country is also.
