if Kerry ran on those issues. Typically when someone is called more electable, as many Kerry primary supporters claimed he was, it means he isn't as liberal as other candidates.

It also would have been nice if Kerry had talked more about the basic premise of NAFTA, the WTO and the war in Iraq being wrong instead of spending most of his time focusing on side issues about how those things were carried out. That was difficult because he supported all three, which opened him up to attacks of being a flip-flopper. Kerry could have had a more powerful message and an easier time getting elected had he voted the right way on those major issues.
