I was able to build up momentum in early states to crush Bush in the primaries, but it was hit or miss there. Link to post Share on other sites

Don't take a general win for granted. I thought that about 1936 one time, I didn't campaign as FDR and Landon beat me with like 370 EVs Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Posted June 17, 2017 Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 Primaries are hard. General election victory is easy. I've won in a Chafee vs Kerry race winning everything but D.C. and getting 63% of the vote. Link to post Share on other sites
jdm06ltd 0 Posted June 17, 2017 Author Report Share Posted June 17, 2017 @SirLagsalott Kerry was an inherintly awful candidate. Wesley Clark was tougher....i mean when I made it to the generals the Republicans were solidly ahead of the Democrats....Clark was in a no win situation....i hardly did a thing....i car about getting the "W" not it being a humiliation.

Kerry had the problem that, even though his domestic policy was somewhat distinct from Bush, his foreign policy (the biggest part of that election) was almost identical to Bush's, just phrased a bit differently. That, and it was widely known they were both members of the same secret, politically-oriented fraternity, the Skull-and-Bones, Bush's incumbency bonus became absolutely huge, because Kerry wasn't much of an alternative - moreso a clone in many key areas.
