Mr. Bowman's parsing of the Democrat psyche is typically cerebral, lucid and morally serious.

I read with interest Mr. Bowman's "Mommy Democrats" column. The "feminine" vs. "masculine" argument he makes is interesting. I believe a better summation of the interest in Kerry, and even that in the late-arriving Clark, is that here is a man who did make war, understands its horrors, and who has seen the light -- the need to act as the responsible global citizen.

It is sort of a Camelot moment, like Arthur realizing that the point of the round table is not that "might makes right," but "might for right." Of course, with Democrats that right is not what we in America believe, though the nation (read Democrats) has the right to a valid opinion; what is right is what the consensus opinion of the world (read U.N.).
