Kerry's positions too complex for most voters?

[Axis Kast]

Frankly, I often wonder if Reagan's death robbed Kerry of being able to portray himself as a better Senator - specifically as a public "watchdog."

Before he ran for President, one of Kerry's most notable achivements in the Senate was his participation in the Iran-CONTRA inquiries. But had he pressed that role, it might have come off as a cheap shop on a dead President who couldn't properly defend himself.

Does anybody else agree?

Granted this was minor; Kerry's biggest problem was always stalling for so long before adopting a clear response to Bush's issues. The Republicans merely had to raise the question of Kerry's indeciveness and undeservedness to create an impact.

Dude, that's probably the less stupid thing you've ever written *thumbs up*
