And Kerry has most of the Dem Senators acting like he doesn't exist.
Daschle pretends to be Bush's best friend.
Carson isn't a "Kerry Democrat."
Bowles and Inez won't appear with Kerry. Knowles probably has never met him. Salazar separates himself and won't appear with Kerry.
Yeah, Democrats are proud of Kerry.
All of the above mentioned candidates are running in states that Kerry will lose, even if he wins the election. So their failure to embrace Kerry is hardly surprising, and is not a relfection of Kerry's national popularity. There aren't really any competitive Senate races in strongly Democratic states, but if there were, I doubt the Republican candidates would talk about Bush a lot. Senate candidates do what they have to do to win, and only go on the basis of the mood of their states.
The fact that Kerry is unpopular in Oklahoma is of little relevance.
