Hard to pull for Kerry

That’s the title of this brutal article by Brian McGrory in the Boston Globe. I suspect he won’t be having dinner with Senator AWOL again anytime soon.

The unvarnished truth is, I want to like him. I want to write positively of him. I want to highlight his great potential, his uncanny ability to grasp the human plight. But then he whines or haplessly hollers or passes blame as he feels every bump, every conceivable slight, along an uncommonly gilded path.

In this campaign, his answers on the famous Iraq vote aren't nuanced, they're ridiculous. His overall message isn't muddled, it's nonexistent.

This is from somebody who likes Kerry (or at least used to).
