I'm not exactly sure what I think about this.

I still haven't gotten over his lack of organization in identifying and shining the spotlight on election day trickery the moment is was happening. I had faith that all the money that was being held back in the campaign would be used to fight the illegal tactics in real time, with hundreds of people taking video and thousands of lawyers by their side. It seems that was not the way it happened. It took people totally unaffiliated with the Kerry campaign to notice the problems and file complaints.

It seems that the Kerry campaign had a faith of their own. A faith that the election would be run fairly, simply because they threatened that they would be watching closely. This was not the case, and they were left as unprepared as the Gore campaign. Gore at least had more of an excuse and stuck around to fight it out.

I guess I'm not ready to forgive Kerry yet, even if he has forgiven himself. He and the people around him should have known better.

There is one other possibility: Maybe he knows how badly he screwed up and is doing all he can to make up for it? However, I have a hard time believing that any career politician would place the blame squarely on their own shoulders, but that is just my opinion.
