Man, look at how pissed the grassroots are at him. There's no question they're itching for a primary challenge to strongly back against him like against Lieberman.

Anyone care to guess what your typical DU thread about Lieberman is like? I can give examples, but you can probably figure it out. Contrast.

There's no issue against Kerry for a primary campaign. It's just that everyone agrees he's not the greatest Senator. (On the other hand, he's no worse than average, he's just gotten much more media attention than your average mediocre Senator.)

They're just mad at him for fucking up 2004. If he never ran for President, they wouldn't care.

Yes, because a Democratic uprising really did away with Lieberman's political career. Senator Lamont and the Democratic establishment probably laughs everytime they think about it.

The point here is the primary alone. So many people have this delusion Kerry can possibly lose the primary like Lieberman did. I'm showing how insanely different the situations are.

sh**t like this makes me reconsider my party affiliation, and that's pretty bad considering how much of a hard-core Dem I am.

Having refused to read the DU posts, I could only make the same mistake that Harry did and conclude that BRTD wasn't being sarcastic in the first post.  I still refuse to read them, so I could have again misread the situation entirely.

They're actually not bad at all, and mostly are just reproductions of speeches and stuff that Kerry has made, with additions like "Kerry is a true American patriot", etc.

People are mad at Kerry for running a sh**tty campaign for President, and losing to the worst President in United States history. That doesn't mean they'll vote against him in a primary for Senator from MA.
