Subject: RE: BS: Oh God Kerry Plans to Run in 2008
Oh, I think we have admitted that we got things wrong. True, a lot of the retrospection has been centered on what Bush's crew did right, but I think there are a number of things we did wrong and it is being admitted.

The idea of "anybody but Bush" was the wrong approach. We should have taken the tone of "nobody else but Kerry". Kerry spent too much time going over his war record and not enough plans on how he was going to resolve THIS war we are faced with.   He worried too much about image and not enough about substance.

Kerry was arrogant about the South. He stated early on that a candidate could win without them.   We have left the south stagnate and failed to create change within the "dixiecrats".

A new candidate will need to get a message out. I think Guest mentioned Russ Feingold. I would love to see him take a run for it. However, it is way to early to choose a candidate. What needs to happen now is substantial change to our culture and creating voices in the media that gets the message out.
