The sad part is that a significantly large chunk of the US chose a failure like Kerry.
If you flip Ohio into the Kerry column, things don't look too good.
I'm reminded of the old SNL skit where Jon Lovitz (playing Mike Dukakis) looks at the camera and speaking about George HW Bush says "I can't believe I'm losing to this guy".
Let me paraphrase that to say "I can't believe we almost lost to that guy (Kerry)".
If Kerry decides to run for President again in 2008 and actually gets the nomination inspite of all the idiotic things he has said and done... It would truly be like living in Bizarro World!
