Even a better question:
How in the world could John Kerry have brought together all of the red state Americans who voted against him in such large numbers?
Don't you recall how he responded to his critics in the Swift Vets? Threaten lawsuits.
Don't you recall the DNC idiot who said, "They'd better hope we don't win."
After seeing swastikas painted on Republican homes, GOP office shot up and looted of computers, high school kids beat up who said that their parents voted for Bush... I seriously believe that there would have been a "Vote (Kerry) or Die" policy.
How more violent did the left have to get to make this clear???
