"The New Soldier" by John Kerry et al

Actually, the thing that makes Kerry more electable is that he is over
six feet tall. How long since we've had a president under six feet?

I was able to check The New Soldier out of the library yesterday. It
is astonishing how recognizable Kerry is in the photographs, though to
be sure it's not his height that marks him, but his teeth and jaw.

The New Soldier is quite a period piece. What a hairy bunch we were in
those days! (Kerry was clean-shaven, and his sideburns came down no
lower than the bottom of his ear-lobes.)


|Dean is a moderate Governor from Vermont and John Kerry is just to the left
|of Ted Kennedy. Dean could have moved to the center after running left for
|the primaries, but Kerry's paper trail is much too long for him to be a
|credable centrist. I don't see how Kerry is more "electable" than Dean.

Because Dean kissed up to the radicals within the party while
Kerry held back. Thus the moderates, the ones who were ****ed at
the radicals in republicans, rejected Dean. With a lot of
"guidance" from the DNC, of course.
