Kerry and Edwards are not likely to continue down the same pave-the-middle-east path as Bush.
Kerry and Edwards are not "protect the children"-banner-waving culture warriors the way that Al, Tipper and Holy Joe were.
Kerry and Edwards won't give me heart palpitations if an opening pops up on the Supreme Court. That's not to say that I'm not concerned about who they'd try to appoint, but it's reasonably safe to say they wouldn't pick someone who'd make Scalia and Thomas look like card-carrying communists.
I could run down a lot of differences between the usual Democratic and Republican platforms, but you know what the two parties generally stand for, right? That's my deal -- Kerry and Edwards will pursue a much more left-leaning platform than Bush and Cheney will, and will probably not fuck up quite as dramatically as Bush and Cheney have over the last four years.
It's like replacing a guy who shits in your hat every morning with a guy with nasty garlic breath. Life won't be perfect with the replacement, either, but the important thing is to get the hat-shitter out of the office first.
