Reply #19: Bill Clinton, Terry McAuliffe, Harry Reid etc are the DC insiders [View All]

After November 2004, those people worked as hard as they could to diminish the voice Kerry had. As soon as the elstion was over they initiated a campaign to say that JK was not a Democratic leader, though he was ONE of the Democratic leaders by virtue of being the satndard bearer.

It takes enormous chutzpah, for a HRC supporter to claim that Kerry is a "WA" (or "DC") insider - when the Clintons are the ultimate insiders and have been for 15+ years. I wish Kerry had been given the leadership role you imply - in fact, he has been among a handful of Democrats, who challanged the Clinton dominated party leadership over the last 3 years. Remember Alito and Kerry/Feingold - and the way leadership Democrats vilified him to the media.

His other recent endorsements were McGassgil, Conrad, Nelson(NE), and the governor of Arizona.
