I completely agree. Kerry is an aggressive man. (This is not a pejorative. The other words that mean aggressive are used all the time, "He's a fighter," "He doesn't give up," they all mean the same thing.) He is also someone with a core set of beliefs that had stood the test of time. He is pretty much what he was when he first entered both the public eye and public service all those years ago.

Years ago I heard Kerry described locally as a 'weeble.' This comes from the kids toy figures that have rounded ends so that, 'weebles wobble but they don't fall down.' I was a bit afraid of posting this on this board because people would see 'wobble.' The people who said this in MA heard, 'don't fall down.' He can take a punch and not fall down. He comes back, again and again and again. There are a lot of people now 'out of politics,' who under-estimated Kerry. That's why he's still there and they are not.

Edit: SP, of course and as always.
