| 1. The only thing that made Kerry unappealing was the shit advice |
|
he got from his DLC handlers. I've seen him in action, and he's great. They turned him into a bland zero.

| 2. I can't imagine someone less appealing than Mondale |
|
And Dukakis wasn't exactly exciting either. Kerry was better than either of them.

| 3. Yes, but not by much. I didn't do the poll because there was no |
|
answer that applied. Kerry is really a good man, and I believe he would have been a very good President, but he was so private, he simply didn't connect with the people. Neither he, or his handelr advisine him to publically challenge his degraders.
The politically correct shit has to stop!
Stay with what's in your mind and heart! If someone get's emotionally harmed, sure him, but just say what you bliee!

Mondale was a good candidate, even tho' he lost. Dukakis was just plain weak. On the Mondale-Dukakis spectrum, I'd place Kerry closer to Mondale in terms of strength as a candidate.

Since Mondale lost by a much wider margin than did Dukakis. Only one state and D.C.

| 9. yes, but that's NOT saying much or enough ... his advisors didn't help him |
|
connect to people, or "manage" his longwindedness well enough ...

At least over Dukakis, imo.
I don't really remember too much about Mondale. I was still kinda young back then.

| 11. watch the old debates |
|
Dukakis got smashed in his debates with Bush I. Smashed. John Kerry was a superior candidate to both those men.

| 12. Kerry was definitely the superior candidate |
|
Although Cahill and Shrum certainly tried their best to undermine him with their inexcusably bad advice.
