It was Osama's fault!That's the claim being made by former Democratic presidential contender John Kerry, who said that Osama bin Laden's bombastic pre-election video was responsible for his loss to President Bush.
Kerry made the claim during a chance encounter on Thursday with Fox News Channel's Geraldo Rivera in a holding room prior to the processional leading up to the formal opening of the Clinton presidential library in Little Rock, Ark.
Rivera said he told Kerry, "Tough luck, senator," when their paths initially crossed, referring to his election loss.
He said Kerry responded, to the best of his recollection, "It was the Osama tape — it scared [the voters]." Kerry added that the tape came out too late for his campaign team to counteract its impact before the election, Rivera recalled.
Former President Bill Clinton, in a recent speech assessing the election outcome, also said he believed Kerry was hurt by the Osama tape.
Kerry's office did not return calls seeking comment yesterday.

Riiiiiiiiiiiiight
It wasnt the guy and the message and the party but the tape
That's it
At least he blames OBL for something..............LOL.
Maybe that will just get the democrats upset enough to actually fight the war on terror, 3000 dead Americans couldn't but maybe hitting them where it hurts, power... that will really make um mad...
Kerry who ?
Actually, it was Kerry who scared the voters.
Message to John Kerry:
No, you lost the election just by being yourself. It wasn't anyone's fault but yours. I am a Roman Catholic, and I wouldn't have voted for you under any circumstances.
Sockmonkey
Not like with the "Favorite Son" video, or the missing 380 tons of explosives ad. The Kerry campaign wasn't able to coordinate with Osama the way they coordinated with CBS, NYT, 527's, etc.

Kerry lies again ...
he never was ahead in any poll average post-labor day.
NEVER.
LOL THAT PICTURE I POSTED IS HOSTED IN FRANCE! LOL! I FOUND IT ON GOOGLE IMAGE SEARCH...
LOL!!
I thought about alot of things when I was voting, but not once did I think about Osama's video fetish.
Kerry lost because he sucked as a candidate, vascillated on issues, chose a preening pretty-boy as his running mate, and was a condescending, elitist prick with a neurotic wife.
And so like a liberal to blame anybody or anything else for his own failings! If Mr. Kerry can't accept responsibility or act with character, who'd want him to be president anyway?
