If we have learned anything since the 2000 presidential election it is that in a dangerous and uncertain world there is no substitute for a steady hand at the nation's helm, guided by a lifetime of experience.
And that, at the end of the day, is what Sen. John Kerry has to offer the Democratic Party as its nominee for president - a 35-year record of service to his nation and to this state.
It is something the people of Iowa began to sense as Kerry - finally - hit his stride as a candidate in the weeks before the caucuses.
Those of us in Massachusetts who know him best, have never doubted that Kerry is as capable a political leader as any who have sat in the U.S. Senate. His character was formed in part in the cauldron that was Vietnam.
