Yeah I bet.


Since it is a secret ballot, I can not prove it, so you get to keep your
money.

... Kerry was far behind in the polls and primaries until the DNC put
all their resources behind Kerry.

???

No, Kerry won almost all the primaries with fairly large margins. Edwards
came in second a number of times, Dean won a single early primary.

Where do you get this loony-toons stuff?


... Is part of Democracy to have a party leadership committee, but this
DNC seemed to deem Kerry their person. Just like the RNC blessed Dole a
few years prior. Both unelectable.


Why was Dole "unelectable?"

Sort of explains Kerry selection.

Dole was unelectable as he had no charisma, no real platform and no
leadership showing. Sort of like Sen., Kerry. Senators make a poor choice
for President. They are not CEO's but cogs in a big gear of the Congress.
Dealmakers more than leaders. Best would be a major CEO of a large,
successful company or a Governor. JFK was good on the Charisma part, but
was not a real successful POTUS. Got us the Bay of Pigs, and the Cuban
Missile Crises, and then died before a large legacy could be defined. And
he gave us LBJ, who really screwed the pooch via Viet Nam. And JFK was only
a Senator for a short time, 8 years as opposed to 20+ for both Dole and
KErry.
