I worked pretty damn hard for a guy who apparently won it in the Press... although seems to me the press had sold him out early in the process when they had Dean and Clark as the darlings of the race.
Kerry won the primaries on his own.
I love Wes Clark but it's a cheap shot to say Kerry did nothing to get those votes. I was there at the Iowa JJ dinner when we started to turn it around. We were even in turnout with the Dean supporters who had a ton more money at the time, and we were as loud and boisterous.
Kerry's speech was energized and from that day on through the end of the primaries his message got across.
It may take awhile to turn that into the same type of energy for the National Election, but it will happen and Kerry's a great closer.
It wasn't the Press who won, Kerry did... and in the National Election it will be the same way.
