Kerry -- WAY WAY OFF THREAD BUT INTERESTING.

Really not all that interesting. Yes, JFK is trying to model himself after
JFK, something he has been doing since he was a teenager. He is probably
using the same PR playbook that JFK did. You can find a very unflattering
portrait of Kerry on the Vietnam Veterans Against John Kerry web site if you
are interested in that sort of thing.

What would be interesting would be Kerry's (or any candidate's, for the
matter) opinion on issues relevant to general aviation -- security, the
aviation trust fund, airport conservation and protection, access to
wilderness airports, taxation, TFRs, the Washington ADIZ, international
travel restrictions, etc. So far the various candidates have treated
aviation the way they always have, as something that is only of interest to
a tiny minority of people. Why risk having an opinion that might offend a
significant portion of the electorate simply to let pilots know what you
think? (It would also be interesting if Kerry managed to hold an opinion on
anything for longer than five minutes, but that is also off topic.)
