I’ve heard so many different people giving analysis on why the Democrats lost in the election. It seems they are all missing the obvious. They picked the wrong man to be their candidate. Kerry has not a drop of charisma and never gave a strong reason to vote for him other than he wasn’t George W. Bush.

They also used a strategy that cost Bob Dole the election in ‘96. Like the Republicans in ‘96 they depended on people voting against the incumbant more so than people voting for the challenger. That won’t ever work. People want a reason to vote for someone and the Republicans gave them one while the Democrats kept trying to give reasons to not return Bush to the White House.

I hope the Democrats get a clue from this and put someone up against the Republicans who is electable in 2008.
