John Kerry

on what happened. WHy he was so bad. Because, much as it pains to say it, he WAS. I agree that debatingis not his strong suit. He did nothave to be great. He had to be OK. And he wasn't. And I am not the stupid media (I made the mistake of watching Morning Joe this morning, not good for my blood pressure and my overall sanity). And remember the MSNBC people reaction right after the debate ended? THeir gut reaction? The one taht SNL made fun of? It was their gut reaction, Chirs Matthews being the most extreme, and not from people that wanted ot be critical and push the Romney was great meme, but from people that seemed really hurt and puzzled.

ANyway... I hope it will get better, and that what happened last week will not have too much of an impact. But I am afraid that something that Scarborough said this morning is at least parially true, namely that nothing Obama or any surrogate will say until the next presidential debate, not any ad, or speech, etc., will matter much.

Sorry to be such a downer.... I guess I am in a lousy mood. Actually, I know I am, not only because of political issues .
