22. Then why didn't a similar candidate emerge against Kerry?

Lets face it, Kerry is the anti-charisma candidate. Hillary has at least 3 times the charisma as Kerry does, but Kerry ended up taking the thing.

Why? Because there was no Obama out there. Yes, Dean caught a wave, but he couldn't keep on the surfboard. Worse, he had no built-in constituency.

And just for the record, I think Hillary would have brutalized Edwards had there not been an Obama. Yes, he would have put up more of a fight, but I truly doubt he would have been viable past Super-Tuesday.
