2008 should be different for all the reasons in your last paragraph - all of which led to the fact that about 80% of the country thinks we are headed in the wrong direction.
I am not sure that Kerry was naive to the ways of the GOP - he did say they were the biggest crooks and liars he had seen - and this from the man who exposed the illegal funding of the Contras and BCCI! I think he over estimated the intelligence of the American people and the professionalism of the MSM. In 2004, it is likely that the task of defeating a President, who people saw as protecting them was too difficult. (I know some people who were young during WWII still angry that he questioned whether it was the "right war" and how it was run - while we were at war.)
I don't think he will be VP - he can defend Obama just as well as a party atatesman.
