Poll question: Was John Kerry a more appealing candidate than Mondale and Dukakis?

Was John Kerry a more appealing candidate than Mondale and Dukakis?

1. The only thing that made Kerry unappealing was the shit advice

he got from his DLC handlers. I've seen him in action, and he's great. They turned him into a bland zero.

2. I can't imagine someone less appealing than Mondale

And Dukakis wasn't exactly exciting either. Kerry was better than either of them.

3. Yes, but not by much. I didn't do the poll because there was no

answer that applied. Kerry is really a good man, and I believe he would have been a very good President, but he was so private, he simply didn't connect with the people. Neither he, or his handelr advisine him to publically challenge his degraders.

The politically correct shit has to stop!

Stay with what's in your mind and heart! If someone get's emotionally harmed, sure him, but just say what you bliee!

4. I was there and remember....neither D nor M were very exciting

it might be I paid much more attn this election because the probable messes from another W term are so much worse than anything we imagined in 84 or 88

5. yes, I can honestly say he was

absolutely

6. Mondale

Mondale was a good candidate, even tho' he lost. Dukakis was just plain weak. On the Mondale-Dukakis spectrum, I'd place Kerry closer to Mondale in terms of strength as a candidate.

7. Interesting...

Since Mondale lost by a much wider margin than did Dukakis. Only one state and D.C.

[Mojambo]

8. No question about it. n/t

[sundancekid]

9. yes, but that's NOT saying much or enough ... his advisors didn't help him

connect to people, or "manage" his longwindedness well enough ...
message, message, message (short and tidy)

[bigwillq]

10. Yes

At least over Dukakis, imo.

I don't really remember too much about Mondale. I was still kinda young back then.

[Doomsayer13]

11. watch the old debates

Dukakis got smashed in his debates with Bush I. Smashed. John Kerry was a superior candidate to both those men.

[American Tragedy]

12. Kerry was definitely the superior candidate

Although Cahill and Shrum certainly tried their best to undermine him with their inexcusably bad advice.
