Reply #70: I was so mad at a Conservative friend who said Bush was easily beatable [View All]

I'd misinterpreted her comments that Kerry couldn't do it. I was ticked at her, as you say, putting it all at Kerry's feet.

Turns out, she was putting it on the Democrats as a whole. They couldn't pull it off. I could agree with that. I think that every one of us on the Dem side should think about what our roles were and how things could have been better. I'm getting sick of "I did my part but the Kerry campaign was pathetic."

I was part of that campaign, and while there may have been things we could have done, I reject the claim that some peacenik and her friends did everything and we did nothing. We worked our asses off. It was a team effort people. It wasn't perfect over at Moveon.org or ACT either, people. In fact, we had a refugee here and there from some of those outside campaigns who showed up in Wisconsin because we were more organized.

What I don't understand is why the DNC wouldn't have been enthused or helped to bolster the campaign. Any theories as to why that was so, Whome? Were they already looking ahead to 2008?
