John Kerry may love and try to emulate JFK, but his stance on space exploration leaves much to be desired. (Although, I'm sure his campaign will probably try to write this off by saying Kerry simply holds a "nuanced" position on space exploration.)

Anyway, as Chris Hitchens wrote recently in a NYT article, "how often have you met a self-described Kerry supporter?" Between the Deaniacs, Moore-ites, Progressives, Clintonites, Socialists, Reagan Democrats, Black Democrats, Neo-Isolationists, trade unions, and academics, is there truly *anyone* on the Modern Left who is an unbridled Kerry lover first and foremost?

Yeah, there really aren't any. Which is a major flaw, but also maybe a boon, in that all of those groups you listed wouldn't choose Kerry first, but they'd all choose Kerry second. He's the "everyone can agree on me" candidate. Not thrilling, but it'll do the job. It will also maybe teach the Dems a little something about putting up a united party front every few years.

Ugh.
