The wounds of the Kerry defeat still sting. Four years later I'm still in shock that he lost, not because I thought he was all that but because I still can't fathom that after four years of the Bush administration people couldn't see the evidence of his incompetency as plain as the nose on their faces in a mirror reflection.
I'm cautiously optimistic at this stage in the election, but I won't believe it until I see Obama behind that desk in the Oval Office.
