Reply #38: Kerry was a great quarterback with a lousy frontline - ala Kenny Anderson. [View All]

Kerry was always the FIRST to jump into the line of fire for others under attack. He did it for McCain, Cleland, Daschle, and Murtha.

He mistakenly expected that others were capable of doing the same for him.

They weren't. And the media wasn't interested in giving airtime to defense of Kerry's record.

All the yardage he accumulated had to come on his own the hard way and via the debates which he won decisively. He had to - media would jump to spin the debates for Bush if they could.

Kerry did it mostly on his own against ruthless liars who loathed him for his 35 year record of investigating and exposing their corruption of government, and doing it mostly on his own with little help from even his own party.

Especially against a media who started Bush at the 10 yd line.
