Kerry indeed was a big letdown. He epitomizes the term "Boston Brahmin". He campaigned like people were ready to receive him with open arms similar to what Cheney/Rumsfeld told about the Iraqis waiting for our troops with open arms. McCain's comment says it all. I find it hard to understand how someone could loose out to a person like Bush.

McAuliffe is working for Hillary going after Kerry. Hillary fears Kerry and Gore most of all and is praying neither of them run because they can both beat her and she knows it. She also fears Obama and Edwards from the younger-faced left. McAuliffe made a huge mistake speaking ill of another democrat when he obviously has a huge reason to be professionally biased. If he had had a problem with 2004, he should have spoken out then, not waited for two years until he is helping run against the candidate he is criticizing. It is true though, Kerry and democrats should not have had so much class and honesty and stuck to the issues. They should have assumed Bushies would be villainously mean, 100% dishonest, dirty, divisive, cheaters and avoid all real issues, but harp on a bunch of phony ones. The GOP convention was an ugly spectacle of dishonest attacks on Kerry. The smearvets were a national disgrace. The cheating in Ohio was legion. Kerry should have seen at least half of it coming and fought back more forcefully. In fact at the time I advised his people to do exactly what. But remember, McCain was also smeared out of the race in 2000 after clobbering Bush in New Hampshire.
