13. How is stating an opinion on the DLC/Lieberman/Kerry issue being obtuse?

Yes! I WOULD have a centrist than a liberal. I'd rather have a pragmatist than an idealist. Can we stop arguing this issue?

I'm simply observing that the DLC liked Lieberman until they saw his numbers. Kerry's numbers look good now, so the DLC is now backing him. I personally think that the race will stay Dean/Kerry - Kerry/Dean with the two trading the lead for quite a while. If, however, Kerry's numbers dropped and he became the 3rd or 4th place candidate, you don't think the DLC would change their minds again?

They're opportunists who'll almost always back the lead horse.
