Michael Moore is confident in Kerry's goodness

Howard Dean is now carrying John Kerry's message: health care, tax reform, jobs. It remains for Michael Moore to carry Dean's: Bush lied, Bush lied, Bush lied.

As Moore slipped out a back hallway, I confronted him with the theory that Kerry will do precisely what Moore fears: shift right and appeal to centrist voters who have fallen away. Elections are, after all, about winning power.

"I don't think he's ever lived his life as a person who's been a power-grabber. He's always stood up for the things he's believed in. He comes from a moral place," Moore protested. "I've never met the man, but from a distance he -- I know when I first saw him, it was in 1971 in Detroit, Michigan, where he and other veterans came there to hold the winter soldier hearings. It was a powerful moment of honesty and redemption and I'll never forget it, and I believe he's still the same man."

Kerry's also the same man who told Larry King he hasn't yet seen "Fahrenheit 9/11," pleading he has no need to. What Kerry did not admit was that, had he seen the movie, he would have been pressed for an opinion. Given the movie's near-radioactive status in the public mind, Kerry is playing it safe. Dale Earnhardt Jr. has seen the movie and took his entire crew, then told Fox Sports about it. John Kerry can't be bothered.

For now, though, Moore chooses to believe in John F. Kerry's essential goodness with the same depth of conviction by which he believes George W. Bush is Beelzebub in a thousand-dollar suit. He's never met Kerry and Kerry has yet to see his movie, but Moore understands.
