I think Andrew Sullivan nails what is wrong with Kerry (and Bush) in his viewpoint column in the most recent issue of Time. http://www.time.com/time/covers/1101041101/nandrew.html The problem with Kerry (and Bush for that matter) is his lack of a consistent position. Many of Kerry’s positions seem inconsistent with his other positions. For instance, as Laryn wrote “I don’t think his [Kerry’s] position on abortion stands up to scrutiny; this is the area where the democratic platform falls flat in its claim to stand up for the weakest, defenseless members of society.” This is just one example. (To be an equal opportunity independent, Bush has just as many or more inconsistencies in his positions.)
