This AM Maureen Dowd was being interviewed on our local "RUSH station", WGST Atlanta 640 AM. Here are the basic points she made as to why Kerry lost and what the Dems need to do to regain power. I leave it to you to figure out the consistency of these statements. - Kerry was not too liberal, so this is not something that needs to change (please keep that thought, Maureen). - Kerry didn't state his positions clearly enough, so nobody really knew what he stood for. - Kerry didn't take a stand on anything, particularly on anything "controversial".
