Die was cast back in Iowa for Kerry defeat view story
Wednesday, December 1, 2004
CHRIS CHRISTOFF - - Detroit Free Press
| With all the finger-pointing and recrimination among Democrats over losing the presidential race and the dissection of John Kerry's candidacy, it may seem petty and spiteful to blame Iowa.
But what the heck, why not?
Iowa's Democratic caucus launched Kerry's Vietnam-laden campaign. It's where the soaring Howard Dean self-destructed and where party pedigree Dick Gephardt fell behind like a man overboard.
Then, it's where voters decided they'd really had enough of Democrats and went for George W. Bush.
In other words, it's where the die was cast for another heartbreaking loss for Democrats.
