The latest Zogby poll has Bush losing to every president since Carter, but in a match-up with Kerry, Kerry would still lose. Just a one-point difference, but still…
Kerry won the nomination because the primary voters decided he was “the most electable,” and yet even after all of Shrub’s flubs, Longshanks still couldn’t beat him.
Note to Kerry: Don’t run again. Because the Dems will either give you the nomination again, and you’ll lose, or they won’t, and it will be awkward and everyone involved will look stupid. It’s a no-win situation (in a lot of ways). You gave it your best shot, but no more, okay?
Tangentially, I watched The War Room this weekend, the documentary on Clinton's '92 campaign. It was depressing. The then-energetic and electric Carville and Stephanopoulos are now all-but-useless chat show hacks, and the sullen Shrum who skulked through the background of every scene is now the Dems' campaign go-to guy. Sigh.
