So there is a pattern, the candidate that puts them self over their party pretty much ALWAYS ends up fucking over their party.

1. Bullshit
Kerry tanked his own election by running one of the worst campaigns in recent memory.

President Clinton made it a point to campaign for the good Senator, even though he had just undergone open heart surgery.

3. So Republicans do it once, and Democrats have been doing it ever since?
It might be nice to win one once in a while.
