I wasn't here at DU this time last year and I know Senator Kerry probably got bashed a lot then too, but sometimes I think that a lot of these folks are looking at 2004 through 2005 glasses. They have forgotten (maybe on purpose) that the political atmosphere now, is a hell of a lot different than it was then. * was much, much stronger a year ago and many of the huge mistakes he has made were still ahead of him therefore it was easier for him to get away with his shenanigans. (To put it mildly.) Also at that point, he surely wasn't polling at 35%.

You're exactly right though, DU is really representative of very little. I think our heads know that, but sometimes our hearts need a little reminding!
