But I don't believe we could have picked a better candidate than Kerry. Any one of our choices would have had their own unique set of faults and exploits. Kerry was the overwhelming favorite of Democrats.....and I know plenty of Republicans that voted for him. I believe he did win, in fact, so I'm not turning inward and second guessing his choice. We have a structural issue with our system and until that is fixed, we won't be electing Democrats.

So just who wouldn't vote for Kerry? Other than the wacko RW? I'd love to know the voting bloc of people who are Left?Democrats that didn't vote for him. Actually, it doesn't exist because, in spite of the rigged election, he gained more votes than any other Democrat in history. So the problem we have is that there is a sizable amount of koolaid drinkers and until they smarten up, we're in trouble as a country.

In fact, I think we're past rational party politcs......if people were rational about their politics, they'd have voted for Kerry this election. I suspect that voting Republican is like identifying with your religious persuation or even the home team. It doesn't matter what your Party/Team/church does to negatively impact your life.....that person will never vote Democrat, root for the away team, or attend another church because he/she identifies with those institutions, totally. It's simply an article of faith, facts be damned. I'll never vote for a Republican again....and there's really no rational basis for my decision, either.
