TNR's Martin Peretz has a piece in today's OpinionJournal.com that unsparingly reviews the 2004 election. As a partisan Republican it's no surprised I'm glad my guy won, but on a more objective level...the more I read about Kerry, the more convinced I am that we dodged a bullet by keeping him out of the big chair.
This has nothing to do with politics and ideology, and everything to do with character. I have many friends who have few kind words for President Bush, and others who don't want to be bothered with the rough and tumble of politics, but they pulled the lever for Bush this year because Kerry just made them shudder.
Not from anything they heard or read about him, but from watching him campaign, or debate. They couldn't explain the visceral loathing they felt for the guy.
As a political junkie, I suspect I could. But why bother?
