Kerry's electability may have been somewhat dubious, but I'm going to suggest that, in spite of that, he was still the most electable of the options available, and that, arguably, he was one of the better substantive candidates of the options available.

UK Polling Report: The problem with presenting Thatcher as the saviour of the British Economy, is that it’s arguable that the British Economy was on the upswing from it’s low point when she came into power.
