5. We DO deserve some blame
We, as voters, deserve some of the blame for the primaries. It IS our fault we selected Kerry instead of someone like Dean. *WE* fell for the MSM Dean Scream stuff (or the anti-whoever stuff, if you liked someone else), because it was OUR votes involved. Kerry was chosen by many because of his resume, and not because of his charisma (or lack thereof) or ability to hold firm to a position - even though we know from past experience that those things are as important or more important to independant and undecided voters. It was a dumb move. I'm not saying I am certain a different choice would have won...but I do think we would have had a better chance.
