It's also because well the 2004 field was very weak. Dean was too liberal, Gephardt was too old, Edwards too inexperienced, and Clark flunked. He wasn't the Establishment candidate until he won in Iowa and New Hampshire if I recall

I always wondered why:

6 years of Edwards Senate experience = inexperienced
4 years of Obama Senate experience = experienced

Also Gephardt was only two years older than Kerry.

And who exactly touted Obama as being experienced again?
