In reply to the discussion: Goldstein: Kerry should "man up" and quit government [View all]blm

Quite the historian, aintcha?
BTW - It was the Dem party charged with beating Bush in 2004 and Kerry performed well even with Clinton praising Bush's military decisions while Kerry was ripping them apart. And Terry McAuliffe did NOTHING to secure the election in the 4 years he had to do so.

No presidential candidate can fix a party's collapsed infrastructure state by state in the months before the general election.

We could argue this all night so I will say it is unfair to hold his vote against him as SoS

That's pretty much the same thing as voting as a US senator to go to war. nt

Rec'd for "person up." I can't stand the noninclusive expression "man up."
