stockman, She's not American born & I believe that will become a major disadvantage for Kerry if he indeed becomes the nominee. Remember--she will be up against Laura Bush--the quintessential 1950s American wife:) It's not fair but, First Lady of USA takes on a full-time, media spotlighted PR position as the Pres' wife. IF the jobs situation continues to worsen & Bush Adm does nothing to address the need for stronger souther border, scuttle "almost" amnesty for illegals or shore-up outsourcing--I very well might vote for ANY Democrat candidate as a protest. This excerpt from Boston Globe sums up my attitude towards Kerry(he is borrrrrring). When GOP settled on GW Bush as their candidate, it was because they realized all the "more cerebral" Republicans in the field did not have enough charisma. We would be better off with brain-power rather than the "regular guy" charm that lures too many voters to the voting polls, but sadly, that's the reality. In order for a candidate to overcome Pres Bush's incumbency, the Dems need a sharper-edge personality--that's Howard Dean. Here's the excerpt: >>"You have to think of who can get the job done," Turner implored of Cheryl Bourassa, 44, a former colleague who wore a Dean button on her jacket yesterday at a packed Kerry event here. "The man is boring!" Bourassa retorted about Kerry. "If it comes down to it in the long run, I'll give Kerry money, I'll put out lawn signs. But he doesn't inspire me." "I like Dean," said Kelly Knapp, 45, a musician and special-education aide from Londonderry. "I think he's exciting and open-minded. New Hampshire has a history of choosing mavericks, such as Senator John S. McCain, who won the Republican primary in the state in 2000.<<
