9. You, the Vietnam vets who tried to show the mistakes of Vietnam
Robert Kennedy, John Kennedy, Martin Luther King. They are afraid of what you have to offer.

My father, who is an old Liberal is accepting that we lost this election. I could tell it in his voice this morning when we talked to wish each other a Happy Thanksgiving. I tried to tell him about Bev and all the other things that are happening, but where he eagerly awaited news, this morning, his tone appeared resigned. When he spoked he said, "The problem is that the Dems won't fight dirty" ... and thus, they can't keep up with the Republican's dirty tricks.

As some DUers pointed out, Kerry may not be the kind to play dirty, but at this day in age, any Dem who is not expecting to be broadsided by Republican dirty tricks is too naive to run for office.
