Kerry receives surprisingly decent coverage from Washington Times
Washington Times has a surprisingly fair article on Kerry, reposted in full at Light Up The Darkness:

http://www.lightupthedarkness.org/blog/default.asp?view=plink&id=840

They have the obligatory (for them) attack on Kerry at the end which means little--you can always find someone to say they don't like anyone. Beyond that its a decent article. Here's a portion:

In the Capitol, meanwhile, the man who Sen. Edward M. Kennedy, Massachusetts Democrat, said was geared towards investigations rather than legislation during his first three Senate terms now is putting a concerted effort into becoming a legislative figure.

He already has passed major parts of his military families' bill of rights, on which he campaigned last year, and is leading a national grass-roots effort for children's health insurance.

"He's been incredibly active. To me, it looks like he picked himself off the mat and kept going," said Kenneth Baer, a former Gore speechwriter and Democratic communications consultant. "He's, in fact, been probably more active since than he was in his 18 years before."

Donna Brazile, who was Mr. Gore's campaign manager in 2000, said Mr. Kerry is in a different situation because he had a public job to return to, while Mr. Gore's defeat left him totally out of government. She said that gives Mr. Kerry an opportunity to build himself into "one of the leading voices of the Democratic Party."

Not a bad article considering the source.

3. Are you talking about Kerry?
No, I must have misunderstood you. Kerry is a fighting man and has done a lot of great things in his career, so surely you aren't talking about him.

4. You know, I thought that too!
That's why I was so surprised in November of 2004.

5. Knows to pick his battles
Kerry fought up hard until it was clear he did not have the votes to win. Kerry is smart enough to realize that he is more effective fighting for election reform if he doesn't make it look like he's just complaining because he lost.

It is also necessary to have better evidence that exists so far to make challenges of a stolen election.
