Clintonistas sabotaged Kerry campaign?

Most conservatives and libertarians knew that the Clintons, despite their public protestations to the contrary, did not want John Kerry to win the election. Yet for some reason, Kerry thought it would be a dandy idea to hire FOB's (Friends of Billary) to help run his campaign.

Now, in the never-ending postmortem cycle, there seems to be some who are close to Kerry that have figured out Clinton's angle.

An excerpt (full story here):

"Behind the scenes, former President Clinton also kept up the drumbeat, telling Kerry in private conversations right to the end that he should focus on the economy rather than Iraq or the war on terror, and that he should come out in favor of all 11 state constitutional amendments banning gay marriage — a move that would have been a political disaster for a candidate who had already been painted as an unprincipled flip-flopper."

Yet another reason (among several others) that I'm glad Kerry lost. If he wasn't bright enough to see what all of us already knew (that Billary wanted him to lose), then he damned sure wasn't bright enough to run this country or be commander-in-chief.
