...meanwhile, exhibits a different kind of tactic. Calling for greater candor by those who exercise the job of high command, and stressing the importance of seeking communal harmony among members of our international household, the Massachusetts Senator promises a leadership style that more resembles a kind of new-millennium Ward Cleaver: never abdicating his role as parent, yet ever careful to solicit input from his charges - in this case, the American people. (And, for better or worse, John Kerry is even as corny as the Beaver...

In Jefferson County, conservative areas may have seen Carnahan as more acceptable than Jeff, but in the city, conservative wards...
