Kerry Blames Loss on Osama
In remarks to Fox News' Geraldo Rivera yesterday, Senator Kerry placed the blame for his loss on the Osama bin Laden tape that surfaced the weekend before the election. According to the Fox article:
Kerry said: "It was that Usama tape- it scared them [the American people]."
bq. Rivera said Kerry said the tape came out too late for his camp to rebut and the Democratic campaign couldn't counteract it in time for the Tuesday election.
bq. Beyond Kerry's delusions do you see the humor in this? Kerry would have "rebutted" Osama's tape, as if Osama were a Bush paid political hack. But what's really amusing about it, is that there wouldn't have been anything for Kerry to rebut if he'd tried and had the time. Osama was merely echoing the Kerry campaign.
I think that there were a few other reasons for Kerry's decisive loss...
