Reply #52: People also seem to forget that dems just seem to have a bad machine

George McGovern lost because Nixon was 100 times more politically inept than he was, not because he was too liberal.

Carter lost because of a very unfortunate set of circumstances. Mondale lost because he was running against Reagan who had incredible charisma and a great machine behind him.

Dukakis lost because Lee Atwater convinced America that President Dukakis would let scary black men out of prison to come rape and murder their daughters and wives.

Clinton won because he was incredibly charismatic and because he had the best run campaign since Kennedy. After watching The War Room I've pretty much concluded that if Kerry's campaign had been that well run, he'd be president. Same goes for McGovern, Dukakis, or Gore.
