Your first point is speculative (the capitalized NOW NOW NOW one).
As far as the second point about how people aren't happy with Kerry, please note that the very news story you cite is only days old. What people remember is the "knowing then what I know now" coment from the Grand Canyon, like it or not. Eveything he has said since has not sunk very deep into the body politic. Blame the usual suspects (the media, lazy people not reading news, etc.). Plus there is confusion because of Clinton's position, and Kerry is unwittingly associated with Hillary via the DLC connection (a popular grievance target group here). Ths may not be justified, but the perceived connection is there.
If Kerry keeps up his antiwar rhetoric publically, you will see turnaround...but in time. I agree with you that Kerry's stance on the war has softened, but I cannot agree that we need to excoriate others for not coming to that conclusion, as well. I also cannot agree that people know this...some do, but most do not.
Convince the people you refer to because you will never get anywhere with hyperbole. These ARE your political allies, even though you compare their positions with love for Bush. Otherwise, you may inadvertently be contributing to the "lack of unity" you vociferously plea against in your last post.
You get the last word.
