I agree with it.
Some observations I have seen elsewhere: Luckily, at the non-political blogs I hang at, I haven't read much Kerry negativity (at least not yet). When the Edwards endorsement story broke, there was a lot of hype about Edwards being VP (most reject that idea), or having a cabinet position, (no mention of Kerry though. :))It's true that Biden's BS statement got more press from those blogs, but the feedback was, well lukewarm. AA Obama supporters haven't forgotten his "articulate" comment a while back. I thought the BS comment was hilarious.
Since Obama gave his smackdown, I have noticed an increase in the not fighting back or didn't respond arguments from some (not all) of Obama's supporters, here and at Kos. People in this good group have pointed out over and over (since 2005) that Kerry did the opposite, yet they continue ignore that the media, lack of party support, different political vibe back in 2002 and that Kerry himself has taken full responsibilty for the mistakes and his campaign (integrity there). Obama is stronger and in good shape because of what Kerry (and Dean) went through, and it's unfortunate that some of them do not see that.
If you haven't seen TayTay's thoughts
here and
here about being in the interregnum mode, it's worth reading over and over again. This (and your rant) is the tip of the iceberg. We are going to have to brace ourselves for a ugly summer and fall. :(
I agree it's all discouraging, but we have to hang in there. I do take heart in reading from Tay's thoughts that the Barack, his campaign (and real world supporters) know who had their back and who didn't, as well as the surrogate, etc. work that Kerry has done for him and them.
