It seems to me that the analysis of the poor organization, especially in Ohio came a little too quickly...why didn't they relize that problem BEFORE the election? Huh

Also, internal polling showed Kerry trailing quite badly throughout most of the campaign. I'll never get why they didn't act on the problems they faced earlier and more resolutely.

Then, I would have made the environment an issue since Bush is hughly bad there

That's a joke right?

I think Kerry should have identified, through polling, the issues where Bush had support from swing voters and not attack that.

No.

No to what? To it being a joke? I think he can answer for himself there, I'm gonna give him the benefit of the doubt until he does. Or are you refuting my idea?

Focusing the environment is one of the worse strategies I can think of. Not as bad as making gay marriage an issue, but not all that far behind.
