As for Kerry, says this adviser, "he thinks he's the frontrunner for '08 without recognizing that he needs to do some soul-searching. If he wants to come back, he'll have to come back as a different candidate, not the stiff who plays it safe and takes four sides of every issue."
Why do I keep getting the feeling that none of Kerry's own advisors liked him all that much?
What the Democrats have not mentioned, but have to know, is that if John Kerry reappears, so will the Swiftvets (though due to altered circumstances, their effect may be blunted the 2nd time around). I'm sure many members of the party can draw the simple inference that Beldarblog did, to wit, that if John Kerry's military records had been uniformly supportive of the story he was telling, we would have seen them revealed in the campaign; because we did not, we may therefore infer that they were not uniformly supportive of Kerry's own story of his brief military career.
Who needs a candidate with such an obvious point of weakness? This campaign also revealed the weakness of MSM; try as they might, they could not hush the story nor drag John Kerry over the finish line in 1st place. Who knows how the public will get their info four years from now.
Wanted: a candidate with no skeletons in the closet and identifiable positions. |
