8. LOVE the statement...
But where was THIS John Kerry when we needed him, let's say in October of 2004? Y'know, the John Kerry who said on Bill Maher's "Real Time" that we have to be ready to "keep a boot up the ass" of these slime merchants.

As a woman, it truly, truly pains me to say this, but the three WORST presidential campaigns I've ever seen run were Dukakis in '88, Gore in 2000, and Kerry in '04. And the thing they had in common is they were all run by women. I honestly think they didn't (at least those three didn't) have the killer instincts you need to run a campaign today, especially if your opponent's last name is Bush. When you've got a candidate that can take his/her opponent apart in the brains category, you've got to let them do it. I always felt that both John Kerry and Al Gore were being muzzled by their campaign managers, who obviously thought the "swift-boating" and dissemination of right wing lies would just go away by themselves.:rant:
