Both Kaus and Lileks are correct. A long career in Massachusetts politics simply means intoning respectful nods towards Ted Kennedy and mouthing Harvard seminar sentences, as prolix as they are inconsequential (and frequently self-contradicting). Kerry has trained in a political land that requires none of the skills that a campaign extending to all corners of America requires What I can't get out of my head is the Boston Globe article titled "Kerry Remains Vague Figure to Most Bay Staters" or some such. This for a favorite son, a four-term Senator, cruising to his party's nomination. Practically a editorial declaration of "This is what you get for not returning my phone calls all those years, you pompous bastard." Now, if it were Teddy going to be nominated, the Globe would worship the ground he walks on.
