comment from the WaPo link:

Seem's like a lot of people are convinced that because they see Kerry as a buffoon, irrelevant and a loser, just about everyone else in the country does too.

Kerry is in a unique situation. Just months after he lost the election by 60,000 votes (5 million would be from the GOP talking points), Bush started his downslide and buyer's remorse set in. Today's Harris poll has W's approval rating down to 36%. From the time he lost, Kerry has not given up being a thorn in Bush's side. From the Kids First Health Plan, Iraq, the hurricanes, Iraq, Small business legislation for the hurricane areas, Iraq, ANWR, Iraq, Alito, Iraq, the scandals, and Iraq. Kerry is giving a speech Saturday you may want to listen to. If you never HEARD his testimony to the Fullbright Comission (4/23/71), you might want to do that. Kerry can speak to the mind and heart.

Change the game.
Does the coach of the losing Super Bowl team get fired?
Is the team considered unlikely to win the next season if they don't get a new coach? Do you really think politics and being the President of the US is easier than Pro football?

Other countries keep the losing national candidate as the opposition leader. The next election they are ready with name and personality recognition, a record the voters are familiar with and a better chance to win than dropping out for four years and starting over.

Why are some so convinced that political candidates who have failed will continue to fail? Business considers failure and persistence the path to success. Kerry has won a lot more elections than he has lost. The Republicans have lost and won. The Democrats might give it a try.

The wind has changed. What the heck is wrong with windsurfing? (I personally think golf is an idiotic game-but I am not blind to it's popularity) The guy is a genuine athlete. He does not fall off skis and snowboards. He plays a game on ice skates called hockey; he rides a motorcycle - for which he has a license.

I have to share this passage from "Rad Decision" an online novel :

" What persuasion would you be, by chance?”

“I never paid much attention. Politics to me always seemed like my sisters having a hissy fight.”

“Oh, to the contrary, our political system is far worse than that.”

Ain't it the truth.. Maybe we could make it better
