A Rare Opportunity and a Rare Candidate

The Iraq vote in 2002 gave us a rare opportunity to see what the candidates are really made of. Most of the time, it's pretty hard to tell from what the candidates are saying what they will actually do once elected (remember George Bush, the "uniter").

It's even more rare that we have a candidate who showed the kind of courage and leadership one expects from a president by voting against the war when it was a very unpopular thing to do.

It's been at least half a century since we have seen a candidate that has that kind of proven integrity and good judgement to go with it.

That's why this is the first primary I have ever worked on.
