At a rally after announcing his pick for Veep, Senator John Kerry listed the things that make the Democrat ticket a better choice than the current administration. His final, and presumably, most important point:

Until he starts taking seriously his responsibilities as potentially the next President of the United States, we should treat his candidacy and his party with the flippancy they have earned.
