the

candidate to our Royal Family. >

ck: Bad news for the Dems, then. Kerry's background is Jewish. The name
sounds Irish but his grandfather changed it back in Austria, before
emigrating to the US. Seems this was a deep, dark family secret that
recently came to Kerry's attention. Interesting that it's not been brought
up at all. Interesting, too, about Kerry's grandfather's suicide in the '29
stock market crash. (Presumably, this, too, was kept from the senator.)
Wonder what the Skull & Bones crowd think of that.
| | John Edwards is undoubtedly a far more talented politician
than Kerry and I wouldn't be at all surprised to learn that he was also
generally more intelligent. But his c.v.'s rather plebeian...
|
ck: Yes, I favored Edwards. Kerry feels like another "so what?"choice. This
election isn't starting off well. Kerry won the nomination, de facto, based
on a handful of states. Not the big ones, either. The electoral college
should disappear.
