I think the reason is clear : 9-11
Kerry can talk about domestic issues all he wants, but as soon as Bush mentions 9-11, its all over.
This is why it was important for Kerry to take 9-11 off the board politically.
So far he hasn't done so.
I think Kerry should have relentlessly attacked the President and the Republicans over their shameless political exploitation of 9-11 at the Republican Convention. There is still time for him to do so at the debates. Perhaps its because this hits me personally, but I think this is the most important thing for him to do.
