This race reminds me more and more of 2004, with the party roles reversed. A
rich, awkward, uninspiring candidate running as the opposite of the
incumbent president (ie making the race a referendum - though it seems Romney is moving away from this).
A younger, relatively untested, more base-inspiring
running-mate. The challenger is more about his biography and has only vague or unformed plans (Kerry was a real war veteran who could fix Iraq and Romney is the businessman who can save the economy).
The main
difference is that Kerry wasn’t proposing to implement a far-far-left
government, as Romney is.
Anyway, some splendid similarities.
