38. I agree with the attacks, and I'm hardly a Dean man.
My version of the postmortem was that Kerry blew the election all by himself by poor organization and lack of aggressiveness. If he couldn't beat Bush, there's no way he'll beat McCain, Allen, Owens, or even Jeb Bush. He's not even a sure bet against Frist.

John Kerry lost the election because he couldn't explain his Iraq stance in one sentence (hint: I opposed the bill after Bush succeeded with a veto threat to get Haliburton a pass on accountability.) , he chose a love-in convention, he didn't go ballistic against the sock puppets for truth, and he spent more time cerebrating in magazine interveiws than he did practicing one-liners.

Now we see him cerebrating in magazines. Damnit, if there's one thing we should learn from Bush, it's that in an age of idiocy, you need to stick to message and one-liners. Leave the cerebrating to the cerebrating class. Politicians stick to the politics.
