I see it as you do kandrathe. However nobody has commented on Kerry being chosen because "he can win". Personaly I think he will have a real struggle to catch Bush once the campaign gets going. Not because of Bush's popularity, but his own liberalism alienating conservatives. If you wanted a democrat who "could win" Lieberman (despite having a voice as boring as Ben Stein) is conservative enough that he could siphon off enough discontent conservative votes (and I think there are plenty) to give Bush a real problem for re-election. Hell, the more interviews I saw of him made me want to vote for him. :P Kerry rallys the base almost as well as Dean but I haven't seen a reason to vote for him, he is the not-Bush cantidate. Great for people who live like life Occhi's "__________'s all America's/Bush's" fault, but that isn't enough to get him elected. Not even close.
