-No, but calling him progressive is.

Why? "Progressive" almost by definition is a relative term. Kerry's policies will unquestionably be progress away from Bush's sinkhole of rightwing corporatism. Kerry's pro-affirmative action, pro-abortion, supports the laundry list of labor law reforms, and wants to tax the wealthy. It's not socialism but it's a decent start.
