Reply #129: Kerry will always be something of an enigma to me.

It was like he felt he had to run, but didnt have the fire. Therefore, in many ways big and small he would go only half way. He listened to his advisers and they led him astray a few times. But his good qualities eventually took him to the right path (today people are citing a 527, which he disavowed).

Remember the debates. He WAS forceful. He DID fight. In the end, though, I just think that he was glad that the ordeal was over. GOP cockroaches thrive in such crappy situations. But good people are exhausted by stench.
