Too bad the White House has not publicized and explained the significance of the Proliferation Security Initiative to the American people. It will have much more importance to our nation's future than gay marriage or after-school programs.
This type of outside-the-box thinking, constituting an extra-UN, ad hoc, multilateral alliance to thwart WMD proliferation, is something a Kerry administration would never do. The core belief of Kerry Democrats is that all international action be taken through established mulitnational institutions. The only problem is their inability to react quickly or their susceptibility to blockage by a single hold-out (i.e. France).
This brilliant piece of coalition-building is a testament to the Bush administration's focus on key threats and fielding defenses against them. Note that just this month America is deploying the first operational anti-missile defense system as well. The current White House is keenly attuned to the existential threats posed by WMD proliferation combined with delivery capabilities. If only voters would concentrate on these critical issues, which reveal the approaches and thought processes of who would lead our country, Bush would win in a landslide.

Leaving aside the fact that Chris Matthews' panel has exactly zero conservatives to balance Joe Trippi, Ron Reagan, Willie Brown and Howard Fineman (no wonder Fox News is eating your lunch), Ron Reagan made a statement that was an absolute lie and nobody corrected him.
It occurred after Al Gore's speech, and Reagan claimed that all the news media recounts of the 2000 vote showed that Gore won Florida. Matthews was the only panelist to ask Reagan to clarify the assertion, and then simply let it pass as truth. As any journalist ought to know, the media recounts of Florida demonstrated precisely the opposite: that under the vast majority of scenarios, Bush indeed won the state. Between having a completely left-wing panel and broadcasting absolute lies uncontested, reveals itself as a joke and it is no wonder that so few Americans count on MSNBC for information.
If one were to add the manifestly slanted political coverage in America to John Kerry's campaign budget, he would be outspending Bush by orders of magnitude. It is no wonder that the news media and liberals were so keen to implement campaign finance "reforms" whose primary result was to strengthen the grip of journalists on information flow and to empower them further as the supreme filters of information dissemination.
