13. This year, it is Republicans, who oppose Romney who push the Kerry, Gore analogies

Actually, I think very few Democrats are ashamed of their 2004 vote - unless the point is Edwards. Many of the things that Kerry was blasted for are things where he was proven right. I still have my Kerry for President bumper sticker, along with a "Don't blame me, I voted for Kerry" and an Obama one on my car.

The other source for the comments is that the likely Republican nominee actually has most of the supposed bad characteristics that the right claimed Kerry and Gore had. He is more wooden than Gore at his very worst, he lies (rather than Gore's purported exaggerations) frequently, and he has shifted his position all over the spectrum on nearly every issue (etch a sketch is right!) far surpassing any "flip flopping" on Kerry's behalf. Given those charges, it is natural that a lazy media would say this sounds like Gore or Kerry.
