In reply to the discussion: To the John Kerry fans- Scott Brown wallops all male candidates for Special Senate Election by 17pts [View all]graham4anything
(11,464 posts)123. I blame John Kerry for getting John Roberts & Samuel Alito on the US Supreme Court
The democracy died on his watch in 2004 due to Kerry not winning a race he could have won, had he not named John the $400 Haircut guy to the VP.
Because after that loss,W Bush named John Roberts in 2005, and Sam Alito in 2006, and it is singular in importance in making Corporations personhood.
Had he ran a better campaign, Kerry would I assume, not named Roberts and Alito, a simple fact.
and if Hillary doesn't run in 2016, Jeb Bush will become 45.
I see no other candidate coming close, unless Mike Bloomberg runs as a democrat, and if he and Vicky Kennedy were to team up on the gun issue, who knows what could happen.

She and WH relied on Kerry to handle truly volatile regions. It was smart of her to do so.

Polls in 2011 and 2012 were pushing the idea that Scott Brown was unbeatable in 2012.

I think Teddy Kennedy Jr. could pull ahead pretty quickly if he became a serious candidate.

They let a playgirl model take Teddy's seat. They earned a bit of skepticism.
