Kerry, THIS time he could win it for the Dems!

Boy, they sure can pick winners in the Democrat primaries . . . I just read this linked article from RealClearPolitics.com about "The New John Kerry." Apparently, Kerry is working hard to be the Dems' pick in 2008, and the quote below describing how Kerry is more passionate and articulate on the stump these days demonstrates that Iowa and NH Democrat primary voters don't realize how out of touch they are:
Which prompts the question, Why now? Pollster Frank Luntz recently showed a focus group of Democratic primary voters in Iowa and New Hampshire footage of Kerry over the past few months. "Where the hell was this John Kerry?" Luntz says the voters asked him. "Why didn't he have this passion, this specificity, when we needed him to?" If Kerry had run in 2004 using his 2006 language, Luntz argues, he might be President now.
Uh, Kerry won in both of those primaries, but winning among core Dems doesn't win you the WH.
