Fine, he's a hypocrite, whatever, but that's completely different from the point of this diary.
If you agree with the principle that someone shouldn't be criticized for having the back of a fellow Dem - whether it's Obama defending Kerry's war vote, or Clinton defending Spitzer's plan - then you should disagree with this diary.
I disagree with the last few paragraphs where Alegre states that he basically back stabs his principles because of Kerry and Edwards on the ticket. I think it reflects well on Obama that he was willing to put the party before himself.
However, i think the diary brings to light important issues as well.
