Glad to see that Kerry saw the writing on the wall and chose not to drag the election out like Gore did four years ago. Of course, the numbers this time probably had a lot to do with it. Good to see that one democrat puts the nation ahead of his political career...
Edwards however, sounded like he's already running for 2008. He'll have to get past Hillary first.
