Another thing the good, decent Dems might take careful notice of is what
happened to Kerry. I think he's an asshole and wasn't and isn't fit to
be the President of the US, but there's no sensible person who could
honestly and seriously claim his "stupid" remarks were an intentional
slap at troops (I'll leave the Freudian aspects alone) rather than a
screwed-up attempt at a lame joke. Yet, a fair number of Dems not only
didn't support him, they ran away as fast as they could while
simultaneously claiming they were absolutely confident they were gonna
win by huge margins.

And I'd offer that those decent Dems might wish to compare those who
dumped Kerry with those that dumped Lieberman and those who might have
be involved in sending Obama to stump for Ford.
