Reply #85: Teddy had that little Chappaquiddick thing

no way he would have won after that. And i do agree that RFK would have won had he lived, but I think that the substance of his race, while being important and visionary, were secondary compared to him being the next Kennedy in line.

I also agree we shouldn't let Repubs define the issues, but fear is the most important emotion you can have on your side if you want to win an election. I dont think that a democrat who talked about 2 americas ad finitum and had nothing to offer in terms of security could have won.
