25. What has Kerry learned from last time??
The Republicans used him as a punching bag in the last election. Kerry's response to the swift boat lies were so late in coming, that when he did answer them, it was too late. John Kerry has 2 problems, 1, it takes him 6 years to answer a question. People don't want an answer that they're going to fall asleep in the middle of. They want concise, smart answers. And 2, He has an image problem. When the name John Kerry comes up with people who are not his supporters, what is the first image they get?? The answer, Washington insider. Rightly or wrongly, Kerry is thrown in with the corruption in Washington. Most Americans now say, a pox on both your houses. Democrats need a guy who is not connected with Washington. That's also why Hillary has problems. If he can overcome these images about him, then he might have a chance. It's not the answer your looking for, but it's the truth.
