Um, actually, McCain married a rich woman, too, and he wasn't even divorced when he hooked up with his second wife. At least Kerry wasn't committing adultery (since the Republicans seem pretty obsessed with what other people do in the bedroom). McCain's second wife's money funded his early campaigns.
Though, sadly, I have no snappy comeback for how he could have lost to Bush, other than maybe Americans are very susceptible to, "Elect a Democrat and the terrorists will KILL you," which seems to be the Republicans' campaign slogan for the past six years. Kerry was a rotten candidate; I agree with you, Rev. But I voted for him, and had I to do it again, I'd vote for him over Bush again. Heck, I'd vote for a Fresca over Bush.
And I still say those who think he was talking about the soldiers are wrong, wrong, wrong. It was a Bush dig. But it's just as well he's hiding out for the rest of the campaign. We need divided government and we need it badly- this single party crap has seriously screwed up our long-term stability (ballooning deficit, anyone?). The Dems don't need any more of Kerry trying out his stand-up act before Tuesday...

There you go. Go attacking the other guys and look the other way for your guy. I expect this from Republicans, but now it has become the Democrats move too. We need a third party for honest, normal people.
Nothing wrong with Democrats being rich, but Kerry isn't just rich, he is an elitist. Bill Clinton wasn't rich and that is why he did a good job. He understood normal people. FDR was loaded but he connected with average people. You can't be President of the United States if you are an elitist like Kerry. He talks like an elitist that thinks he knows everything. The fact is he isn't even that bright. The real problem with Kerry though is that he won't go away. GO AWAY!
If you heard him on Don Imus this morning he was a joke. Imus had to tell him 20x to just shut up and go away. This guy wants to be President and he is getting humiliated by Don Imus.
