Excellent editorial by David Brooks. Here are just a few quotes:

The fact is we didn't put forth an unassailable candidate. Even so, 70K votes the other way in Ohio and the outcome is reversed.
If this election proved anything, it proved that GW, previously believed unbeatable in a post 9/11 America, was very vulnerable...a more compelling candidate, like Biden for example, would have had a better chance of defeating bush.

Al, you should read the article. Essentially, Brooks is saying that the people who voted for Bush believe we are safer now than we were before 9/11 whereas those who voted for Kerry think the opposite. If that is a correct evaluation of the election, then it would not matter who ran from the Dems. inspite of what the Monday morning quarterbacks are saying now. Some people are embarrassed they voted for Bush so, of course, they will say a Biden or Lieberman would have been better. In fact, Bush is their man no matter what.
