it wasn't a cakewalk like people think. There were a lot of things working against Dems that year.

Interesting. People like the Boss, vets and those in the DU Kerry group get or got Senator Kerry. Why so-called Dems, Liberals refuse to even get Kerry speakes volumes. Saying that he doesn't speak without a heart and comes across as fake as Romney are RW memes. People that support the President wouldn't want them repeated about Obama, but they don't mind repeating them when it comes to Kerry and Gore. Not calling anyone out, but making an observation.

That's what I don't understand.
