John Kerry made a mistake, and the Democrats made a mistake in nominating him.
Kerry's plan was to simply run as "acceptable" to the American people, and his entitlement complex would take care of the rest.
As it turns out he is neither acceptable nor entitled.
It was a chance that Hitlery was willing to take, and to her credit her gamble was a good one.
She knew '04 was improbable, however '08 is her only chance, so she "rode sKerry for all he is worth" to set the stage for the first woman President in '08, IF the Democratic party survives....
