John Kerry is an idiot of the highest order.

This should give pause to the Rove worshippers, in that a 55,000 vote swing in OH would have foisted this idiot on the nation.

If an idiot like this came that close to beating you, you have some serious problems yourself that go far beyond "media bias."

The same goes for this election year, where we should have governors Blackwell and DeVos and Senators McGavin and Steele, but probably won't because your stinking party's corrupt leadership couldn't keep their piggish snouts out of Jack A's Pig trough, and were too timid to oust a budding child predator because it was a "safe seat."

Bruno - wrong side of the bed this morning?

DeVos, McGavick, and Steele still have strong shots to win. Blackwell is more due to the horrendous current governor of Ohio (Taft - approval in the teens) than Rove. Yes Abrahamoff was bad but it quickly became clear early this year that there were just as many Dems as GOPers in that trough (hence the Dems dropping the whole corruption theme). And you're right on Foley but imagine the uproar if the GOP pressured Foley to quit and the MSM figured out it was because he was gay. Besides it is increasingly looking like the GOP holds Foley's seat.

Bruno distracted me from my original comment. My original comment was to note that Fitzgerald is the typical "Dems can do no wrong" political pundit in Boston so this article shows how badly JFK screwed the pooch.

AWW,

I'm less optimistic than most here, and less willing to blame Democrats and media than I am our own side's ossifeid leadership.

I'll be happiest if I wake up wrong Wed. morning. Eating crow is nutritious for the soul.

If the GOP loses it will be because there are still troops in Iraq, which makes it W's fault alone.

Bruno:

You still don't get it. A President as radical as W ought not to be able to win re-election in a modern democracy. That he did is a monumental achievement.

Either the WaPost or WaTimes took it upon themselves to post a US map showing state campaigns in jeopardy via Abramoff connections.
I'm waiting for the democrat map.

Till this day, in the face of evidence (even in the MSM once), of democrats involved with Jack A... folks still deny one single dem dealt with him.

Since they have given us this opportunity again, I plan on outing the whole list from their side.
It will surely be ignored... but you never know.

But of course... most deeply stupid people are convinced of their own cleverness; it's what insulates them from recognizing that they need to learn.

Common sense ain't so common...

There's a whole lotta narcissim on the Left, always has been.

But it's a small number of Malignant Narcissists leading/manipulating the Insecure Narcissists, the ones who are mostly trying to sell themselves on themselves. Welcome to the mass of unearned self-esteem.

Kerry has his own roots in insecurity: "Why don't the other kids like me, Mom?" Compare and contrast him with a true Malignant, such as Howard Dean; not at all the same.

Kerry's campaigns, for instance, are run by committees who tell him what to say, and who take forever to make a decision. No way a Malignant such as Dean would do things that way.

And look at how quickly Kerry backs down from positions, lately including the apology, and earns the nickname "Flipper." Again, that's something a Malignant would almost never do.

Kerry is an arrogant fool and a narcissist. But he's just a follower, an imitator trying to get the cool kids to like him, and he can be manipulated thru his insecurities. Frankly, I'm surprised the R's don't push his button more often than they do. I mean, it's not like it's hard to figure out.
