I don't know that he'll fool any more people than Clinton did. Because Kerry has one part "veteran" status (his whopping four months of turning tail in combat and trying to get himself out with fake purple hearts), but nine parts "anti-veteran" status. Clinton may have protested the war, but he didn't go around negotiating with North Vietnam and working with domestic terrorists.

Kerry is just so thoroughly documented doing such disgraceful things, he would seem tainted even by an "average American" perspective, let alone a "patriotic American" perspective. I'm extremely surprised he has 40-something percent, it looks to me like whoever chose him didn't want to win.

Well, you have a good point, but I'm not sure most people are able to get their information from anywhere but the MSM. In a better world, the American people would be better informed, but I'm not sure that's this world.

That's probably the likeliest reason for what we're seeing, that he's really only a seat-warmer till Hilliary can thunder on in, 4 years from now.
