6. THEY didn't lift a finger for Kerry. THEY pronounced his candidacy DEAD
Edited on Tue Oct-03-06 08:52 AM by blm
in the media for months.

You forget that corpmedia presence was PULLED off Kerry's campaign in summer 0f 2003 after he submitted his senate resolution against the FCC's media expansion decision. Dean was given a PRESS PLANE by the corpmedia - an unusual move for the early days of ANY primary campaign.

Alot of the squabbling between the two camps was media perception where differences were exaggerated. Dean's camp was used, Kerry's camp was used.

You also forget that Kerry had to mortgage his home, because his money dried up over all the claims his candidacy was dead. If the establishment Dems wanted Kerry they would have directed money to his campaign during the final crucial months of 2003.

They did NOT.

And the point of a collapsed Dem party infrastructure that didn't secure Dem votes in crucial states was to assure that NO DEMOCRATIC win could be recorded, no matter who the nominee was.
