Reply #128: His liabilities have piled up too high. That's his own fault

[confludemocrat]

As is so clear in another thread here, everyone knows he failed on the swiftboat matter. I think that it has stuck with the voters he seems to seek above all others: independents or people in that middle ground. Therefore, he 's not a good candidate. If he's going to borrow Murtha's talking point that 80% of Iraqis dont want us there, it only looks like coopting it for his own purposes (Kerry 2008!)--even though he says he disagrees w/ Murtha--if he doesn't support the biggest point that Murtha made: that we cannot productively stay there and that there is no success to be had there. So even in sticking with an unspoken proscription here at DU against calling attention to the fact that this war is illegal and immoral and further that no big Dems will get within a mile of acknowledging that, the man falls short.
