[candice]

of the two contenders been the real ticket to smash McCain?

2. yep and yep..and the dem party let it happen happily ! eom

3. Cuz he really brought in that white rural vote

4. he lost even without the lack of MSM coverage

He lost in the state where he put all his eggs- Iowa. And Iowa is a retail politics place where he spent 3 years campaigning. The best he could do was essentially tie for second. He was not a viable candidate. He wasn't viable in the primaries and he would have been a poor GE candidate.
