Kerry's bold stand
I wrote yesterday about the lack of Shermanesque defenses of the New Hampshire presidential primary against Democratic efforts to dilute it. Today’s Union Leader carried a story on just such a defense from 2004 Democratic nominee John Kerry. Check it out.
Kerry won the 2004 primary. He also carried the state in the general election – New Hampshire was the only state that switched from red to blue. And I’m pretty sure Kerry would like to win the New Hampshire primary again in 2008. But his stand on the primary will not endear him to top pols in the states hoping to stick it to New Hampshire. So, whether you like his defense of the primary or not, at least you can’t say he loved the primary before he hated it.
Thanks, Senator.
