Kerry actually held policy positions that were closer to the ones they wanted then Bush's.
on which day?

the flip-flop argument wasn't fruitful then and it is pointless now. I have said it before, I don't think Kerry is a bad guy, and he probably wouldn't have been the worst president ever, but he didn't do what was needed to draw people to him.

he didn't appear confident of his beliefs other than "I'm not George Bush". He always talked about "I have a plan" but never produced said plans. (neither did Bush, but he didn't end every sentence by stating he had a plan) Bush and Kerry weren't that different. they were only different in the areas that matter in an public election - Bush (or his handlers) know how to win an election. A) pick a position, B) State that position, C) Restate that position, D) Restate that position, E) Restate that position, F) see a theme here.

many voted for Bush even though they don't agree with some of what he does, because they KNOW what he is going to do. He will do what he says he is going to do - whether it is popular or not. sometimes that is good, sometimes it is bad, but it is always attractivein a politician. Kerry, in my opinion, had bad advisors that helped him change his views too often for public comfort.

anyway, this is old news. so who do you think is going to be up in '08?
