Agreed. It made sense for the Dems to nominate Kerry in 2004 because he represents the Dem view perfectly, and there really wasn't anyone who had any chance of beating Bush anyway. Now that they have a chance to win, they'd be crazy to waste their vote on someone who can't win just because he represents their views.
DON"T tell them that! You do not tell a traitorous, stupid, commie animal who is peeing in his pants that he is standing on a live wire. You pop a beer and watch the show...
Don't forget one biggie...the clintons didn't want anyone running in 2004 who could win the WH. That would have upset their apple cart!
