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.

If the margin of victory had been larger, I would agree. But the fact is that Kerry had an honorable but controversial and easily distorted past in Vietnam. His voting record on the Iraq war proved to be a very difficult obstacle.
