8. That's because the pundits were comparing campaigns

There is a vast difference between Senator Kerry, the politician, the man, the advocate; and John Kerry's 2004 presidential campaign. It upsets me, too to see the pundits comparing the Romney campaign's ineptitude to Senator Kerry's campaign. While the latter had its gaffes and problems, JK as a candidate was likeable,(albeit not as loose and at ease as Obama) and drew huge crowds. Romney, otoh, is as likeable as a crocodile.

As to comparing each election outcome, I still believe JK won and was robbed, whereas if anything, Romney will lose and steal this upcoming election.

But Sista, no pundits are dissing JK's work as Senator. He always garners admiration and praise and I've never heard any different.
