Why? Did you think that Kerry ran farther to the left? Kerry was Mr. Moderate Roots.

IMO the problem was that nobody knew who Kerry really was. it was hard to tell whether he was really a moderate trying to reach out and appeal to the hard left or whether he was super liberal trying to grab the moderate vote.

everything about him was too engineered.
