Even at this point does anyone know exactly where Kerry stood on Iraq? He would, "Work with our friends and allies to get more participation". Okay, how about backing that up with substance. It sounds great, but as with most things they have been offering up lately it is sound bites with no real discussion of what they would do.
This all falls back to offering no solutions and sticking with issues that really do not concern the average American.
I would agree with you on Dean. He knew where he stood and was not afraid to talk about it (that is what pepople want). He was harsh on all of his opponents and would have energized people. He was eliminated in favor of a candidate 'that could win'. Republicans did this with Bob Dole and learned from their mistake. The Democrats should have learned with Gore/Lieberman. Gore was a 3 time loser, who chose a running mate that alienated the Red states.
There is a pattern forming, that they clearly have no desire to break.

i totally agree with you. And they are continuing to do it even in defeat. Blame blame blame, point point point.
Whiny crybabies.
It's certainly not a surprise to me or many others why they lost.
