for Dems becomes my question.  I am a Democrat and will always vote for the Democrat on any ticket - but I am feeling like we are getting set up for a fall lately.  Kennedy played a big role - maybe more as a student - but none the less a big role in Medicare which is a mandated program.  It is also a really good program.  Can anyone imagine what kind of healthcare crisis we'd be facing right now if we also had elderly folks going completely uninsured?  In any case, how is it that he could oppose mandates just because they are mandates.  I appreciate that he might object to mandating purchases from corporate entities, but that isn't what Kerry said.  He simply said it was the mandates that made her plan completely impossible to pass.  I think that is a problem and I think that hanging her proposal on the mandates alone is both misleading and problematic for anyone who might one day seriously try to fix this problem we have.
