I decided I didn't know enough about Kerry. Turns out he has a very strong technology business platform. Much stronger then Dean, Clark, or Edwards, who tend to talk about steel workers when the subject of the economy comes up. I obviously have misgivings about his feelings on Intellectual Property, but his overall picture is better then what I've seen from any of the candidates with possible exception of Lieberman.
