Is Kerry Really the most electable Democrat? Bring It On?

TNR is now afraid of Kerry. They hate front-runners. SO do I. I want the Dems to go to convention with a mess reminiscent of this year's BCS poll.

Kerry is just easier for the press to pin the cloudy label of "moderate" on than any of the others. It is not true when it comes to his actual voting record but since the man is a master of disembling and answering questions without answering them- he is "most electable" for the liberals in the media among the Dems.

I'm hoping that NH is another surprise and that Kerry is taken down a bit and Clark becomes a hotter property. Ultimately, the Dems should be a 4 man race, burning money and throwing mud at each other for as long as possible.

People say Kerry is strong, but I don't see it -- as this article suggests, he's got beaucoup liabilities.

He can be taken. What was particularly telling, was that Weld lost by 7%, while Clinton carried MASS by 34%. That's not voter loyalty, that's riding 27 points worth of coattails.

John Kerry is tough for the average voter to get a bead on because he says...nothing.

Kind of like Bob Dole.

If Dean isn't getting the nomination, I want Kerry. Clark I wouldn't mind. John Edwards needs to be stopped. Sure, he'd lose, too, but he would disgust me more than any of the others. He's been my absentee senator for almost three years now, and I don't want to see that smirk (the "I can't believe these idiots are buying my BS) on TV any more.

[Solson]

Kerry might have won Iowa and might win New Hampshire. Dean still has the war chest. Edwards will win in South Carolina. Clark is still around.

This thing ain't over yet.

[Tempest]

Any Democrat is highly electable at this point. Because their are so many unappeasables that dislike Bush here because he doesn't do everything the way they want him too.

I'm quite sure some of them are going to support Marxism soon if they haven't embrassed it yet and jump on the Kerry bandwagon.

[Dog Gone]

Senators have a tough time getting elected as a President. We haven't elected one since 1960, although many have tried.

[.cnI redruM]

Senators have to run on their records. Governors can seal theirs like both Bush and Dean. Governors do have an unfair advantage. BushII, Clinton, Reagan, Carter, Nixon...most of our recent presidents have not come from the Senate.

[.cnI redruM]

Bush does have a base problem. Something in the 2-3% percent range. That could Nader him in a close race...

Deadwards and Dean will fight it out 'til the end. Clark has to finish no worse than second, or he's burned toast. LIEberman, Kucinich and Sharpton are now sideshows.

[Dog Gone]

Bush didn't seal his records. They're in the library at Texas A&M.

Dean defended himself by accusing Bush of doing the same thing, but Dean was wrong.

He's getting good at being wrong.

Senators have to run on their records.

Their pre-Senate record might also come into play for a Presidential run--especially if it reveals a rabidly Marxist sympathy and a strong support for the Communist Viet Cong flag.

On the campaign trail, White House wannabe Sen. John Forbes Kerry regularly mentions his Vietnam War combat experience, during which he received three purple hearts, the Silver Star and Bronze Star. However, the Massachusetts Democrat doesn't like to talk much about how he received the awards or the time after he returned home when he was rubbing shoulders with Hanoi Jane Fonda as a much-celebrated organizer for one of America's most radical pro-communist groups.

Hanoi Jane and Ker-Ry Mihn. Perfect. This group needs to do the 527 thing and run these adds two or three times a day in each primary state.

I predict Lieberman will do surprisingly well in NH. He will beat Edwards there.

[afraidfortherepublic]

JJ "F" Kerry may have fought honorably in Viet Nam, bbut he behaved dishonorably afterwards. And then lied about it. Thre his medals over the fence at the Capitol? My fot! He threw someone else's medals over the fence, keeping his own carefully tucked away for a time when he might need them. What a hypocrite!

[.cnI redruM]

So maybe Deadwards is still strictly a Veeper?
