Michael Kinsley discusses electability in today's Washington Post.

"Some Democrats cheated and looked into their hearts, where they found Howard Dean. But he was so appealing that he scared them. This is no moment to vote for a guy just because he inspires you, they thought. If he inspires me, there must be something wrong with him. So Democrats looked around and rediscovered John Kerry. He'd been there all along, inspiring almost no one."
Wake up Democrats -- if a candidate doesn't inspire you, what makes you think he's going to inspire others to vote for him. If all we're looking for is a "not-Bush", we'll lose.
