Re: Granite face: ScrappleFace.com has a funny riff on this theme: "The North Carolina Senator . . . captured 95 percent of the votes of people who had seen Mr. Kerry speaking on TV," according to the satirical Web site. "Mr. Kerry won big among former Al Gore supporters who believe that 'talking slowly without moving one's face' is the key to defeating Mr. Bush."

Trust me on this, to know Kerry is not to love him. I am awaiting a second case of buyer's remorse in the Democratic Party.

To me, Democrat Presidential candidates come in two basic flavors - Edwards/Clinton/Carter/Johnson (big smile, Hale-fellow-well-met, chummy, even schmoozy) and Kerry/Gore/Dukakis/Mondale (painted on smile, earnest, geeky, even goofy). Voters appear to prefer version one. This could reflect the Democrat power shift from the northeast to the southeast - Gore was never a real southerner. I don't think it's any accident that the most recent Republican presidents have been from west of the Mississippi - except for Bush pere, who was sorta Texas, and sorta Northeast.
