The answer is, he isn\u2019t. Other people are doing the persuasion. Other people are doing the testimonial ads, as first lady Christie Vilsack did for Kerry in Iowa. Other people are firing up his crowds. Other people are telling his story.&#8221; A devastating line states: &#8220;The man who stood up to serve his country as a soldier is being propped up as a candidate.&#8221; <\/line><BR\/> This dovetails with Kerry\u2019s dour, depressed victory speech &#8211; which broke etiquette by coming before the concessions. Saletan notes, &#8220;A Kerry rally is&#8230;more like a roast,&#8221; with Shaheen, Ted Kennedy, Patrick Kennedy or others saying how great Kerry is while he\u2019s standing right there unable to make that case. When I read Saletan\u2019s line about Teddy stumping for Kerry, I wished I\u2019d written it myself. <\/line><BR\/>Quote: <strong><emphasize>&#8220;It\u2019s strange that a man who charged into enemy fire should prove so physically inferior, as a politician, to a man whose greatest athletic feat during the Vietnam era was swimming ashore at Chappaquiddick.&#8221;<\/emphasize><\/strong> Oh, man! Democrats are looking for &#8220;electability,&#8221; yet the guy they think has that quality is standing there looking like Lurch instead of standing up and saying, &#8220;I\u2019m your guy and here\u2019s why!&#8221; Again, read this stuff, because the tendency for the media is to paint every Democrat candidate as a natural whose victory is inevitable.
