As the Kerry campaign disintegrates into oblivion, the finger pointing in the Democratic ranks has already begun.
The New York Post's must-read Page Six reports that numbers of notable figures in the 2004 campaign are being roasted by party insiders.
These include:
# Alexandra Kerry: The paper said John Kerry's daughter "made a splash at the Cannes Film Festival last spring when she appeared on the red carpet in a see-through dress."
Campaign "insiders snipe that all she did was rack up major expenses. 'She had an entourage of five people with her everywhere she went.' A hairdresser, makeup artist, publicist and two assistants. It ended up costing something like $8,000 a month. And she didn't exactly do anything."
# Sean Puffy Combs: The rap mogul made national headlines with his "Vote or Die" effort to get young voters to register and vote. But they never materialized at the polls.
"He was just a nuisance," the Post quotes one Kerry aide as saying. "The whole thing was a joke. No one outside of New York or L.A. gives a hoot about this guy. All he did was get himself press."
# Terry McAuliffe and Bill Clinton: The Post says Clinton and his top fundraiser who heads the Democratic party caused the disaster. The Post has reported that some analysts say Clinton's emergence in the closing days of the campaign "energized" the Republican base.

If Perot had not run in 1992, Bush would have beat Clinton.
But I never heard GHWB blame anybody but himself for his loss.
Dole either.But I have read and heard from a lot of republicans who did and still do blame Perot in the same way that the democrats are placing the blame for the this loss on everyone but Kerry, himself.
But you do bring up an interesting point. What exactly did Bush and Dole say they did or didn't do that caused them to lose the elections?
To: Ol' Dan Tucker
What exactly did Bush and Dole say they did or didn't do that caused them to lose the elections? Nothing. But they didn't blame anybody else either.

Why are they picking on Alexandra Kerry?
Okay, so I think she's cute. It ain't HER fault her dad was a big-time anti-war activist in the 1970s running in a post-9/11 political climate...

ROFLOL!!! I love it -- Clinton gets some of the blame for energizing Republicans. What do they think a Hillary candidacy would do?
Yeah, this was a warm-up. The REAL engergized base shows up for 2008!

"...there is a HUGE hole in the media market..."
William Randolph Herst drove a truck through just such a hole many years ago and got rich. It is time for someone with a sense of fair and balanced reporting to get a really big Mac truck and drive it through this hole. Manhattan is still the place to park the truck and start publishing real, honest, truthful news.

"Yeah. What's up with that dress? They splashed photos of the slut with her boobs exposed -- and then criticized the Bush girls for drinking in college? Clueless! Will they EVER get it?"
How about Jenna sticking out her tongue at the press? We had to hear about that forever. (I thought it was cute.)

Surfing the Tv channels last night and caught some show that was talking about the see-thru dress. All the interview-ee's said "She DIDN'T KNOW IT WAS SEE-THRU!" Wardrobe malfunction - happens all the time.

>Yeah. What's up with that dress? They splashed photos of the slut with her boobs exposed <
The first thing I noticed in that photo was how low her LEFT boob hung. I wondered if that leaning to the left curse applied to boobs too. LOL
It must be in the genes.

I've been lurking around DU since Tuesday night. They have a long, long thread just about CRYING! Every ten posts or so, someone types "group hug" and bunch of smiley faces appear. Poor babies :(

I didn't hear about this during the campaign, but in one of the articles about the breakdown of the Kerry attempt one of the daughters was called a baby killer and broke down was it this one or the blond.

"I saw puffy on TV last night and thought he was rather gracious about it, said people need not to be sore losers and that it wasn't until late in the campaign that he realized that a nonpartisan approach would have been better... "
http://www.nbc17.com/entertainment/3889422/detail.html
""Don't be a sore loser people. George Bush won. If people have a problem with that, they should've voted more," he told Access Hollywood's Tim Vincent."
Yes, graciously reprimanding the masses for not stuffing the ballot boxes more than what they did.
