Well, look at it this way. The number of people who actually self-identify as "liberal" is actually quite small. People are as turned off to hard-core liberals as they ever were to conservatives (you can see this sentiment in the popular culture in shows like South Park, etc.) Liberal-lite is still somewhat popular, but the extremists are actually a pretty small percentage.

Kerry is, without doubt, in the utter extremist camp. Kerry's voting history places him as more liberal than Gephardt, Kucinich, Lieberman, Edwards or any other of the Democrat candidates. Seriously. Any of them. People say that he voted just like Ted Kennedy, and that's mostly true... but the truly scary thing is that the very few times he didn't vote with Kennedy, he went -more liberal- than Kennedy!

The guy is so far to the left that I'm frankly convinced he's outright Communist. His group marched under the flag of the Viet Cong, ferchrissakes. The fact that he parroted KGB propaganda in his 1971 speech to Congress just confirms that feeling for me. It's amazing this guy has even been a senator with a record like this, but then, that's Massachusets for you. But he'll -never- be President.

Think about it. No Democrat has ever managed to win the Presidency without the South. Can you -really- picture Kerry capturing a -single- southern state with his record and with his snobbish Yankee attitude?

Now Edwards, on the other hand...

I'm inclined to doubt that Kerry could win, too. However, he can win without a single Southern state: he can carry all Gore's states plus Ohio.
