Kerry's biggest mistake?

[Blackmane]

I agree with Strangler. He didn't have his own positions to back himself up enough and depended on the anti-Bush sentiments to push him through.

I personally think this was a planned election on the Democrats, especially those who want to see Hillary Clinton running for president in 2008. Put an uncharismatic man, unliked by a lot of his fellow senators, and generally too liberal to run against Bush, and push the point of trying to point out Bush's fault. This makes Bush less popular, and Cheney by default, and gives Hillary an easier shot in 4 years.

Just a thought, and probably too conspiracy-ish to be right, but it is an interesting idea.
