The DNC (Terry McAulliffe) was selected by and is controlled by Bill Clinton who is controlled by Hillary. As this gang gave their blessings to Mr Kerry at the convention, surely they knew that he had no chance to win! Did they consider that he was a radical war protestor in the 70's? Did they realize that his history is well documented? Did they think that he could win by running on his senatorial voting record? Didn't they realize that Kerry has flip-flopped all of his life? IMHO, they wanted a place holder doofus who was sure to lose 2004 to keep the 2008 slate clean for another candidate.
DING DING DING DING WE HAVE A WINNER!!!
