I posted the following 16 reasons why Kerry would not win back in February. Some of the points are a little dated now, but I think most still apply. Kerry never had a chance from the very beginning.

Kerry vs Bush. Kerry doesn't stand a chance and here's why,

1) He's a Senator. Senators rarely get elected President.

2) He's a yankee. He has to win as a Democrat without a single Dixie state, Florida included. This is a monumental task.

3) He's a liberal in the extreme. His voting record is extremely liberal and will be used against him in the court of public opinion.

4) He has flipped flopped on almost every issue including the war.

5) Although he is a veteran, he is also a former anti-war protestor, hardly a popular thing when the country is fighting a just war.

6) The economy is booming. By November even the Buchananites will have jobs.

7) Bush has stolen all the RATs' issues.

8) Bush has implimented tax cuts, which Kerry was and is against.

9) There is no third party candidate siphoning votes away from Bush.

10) Bush has no primary challenger, so he has tons of money in the bank.

11) Foxnews, FreeRepublic and talk radio.

12) His very deiliberate use of profanity in the Rolling Stone interview.

13) He left his first wife to marry a rich heiress with a big mouth.

14) He has demonstrated that he is less than truthful (i.e Botox denials).

15) The Deniacs will not forgive him. Many will stay at home.

16) 9/11 changed things in ways pollsters and pundits have yet come to understand or account for.

NO Democrat has EVER been elected without winning a single southern state!
