I have seen several article where Democratic Senators, and not just Zell Miller, have been praising the President and are taking shots at Kerry. I
still think this is part of the Hilary 08 group. I wonder if Kerry really is just a token canindate.

Mr. Schumer, a Democrat, took on his two colleagues in the world's greatest deliberative body, John Kerry and John Edwards, who are his party's
nominees for president and vice president. Mr. Schumer did not attack them by name, but anyone who has been even casually following the presidential
race knows that Messrs. Kerry and Edwards both voted for the war in Iraq but against $87 billion to support the troops there. Mr. Schumer voted for
the war and for the $87 billion. "I voted for the $87 billion to back up our soldiers," Mr. Schumer said. "I'm never going to leave our soldiers
high and dry, and I didn't when I voted for the $87 billion."
What a remarkable moment. New York's senior senator is accusing his own party's presidential and vice presidential nominee of voting "to leave our
soldiers high and dry." ....
Senator Lieberman, another Democrat who understands the security question, has been traipsing around suggesting that Mr. Bush would be better for
Israel than Mr. Kerry. In respect of the issue of negotiating a settlement between Israel and the Palestinian Arabs, Mr. Schumer certainly made clear
yesterday that he has differences with Mr. Kerry, who has been witheringly critical of Mr. Bush's handling of the issue.
