>> I think you missed his point. Perhaps. I WAS in fact referring to the remark about not believing people are in grave danger. It is simply beyond me how a thinking person can make a statement like this after having witnessed what we all did on 9/11. I believe now that Bush will win. He could still blow it. But anyone who suggests they'll support Kerry has to get past the basic question of, "What do you REALLY know about the guy?". For the last 20 years, we know Bush has run a couple of businesses, been Governor of a large state, been President, etc. We know Kerry has been in the Senate, but nobody can point to a substantive accomplishment on Kerry's list as far as I can see.

>I think you missed his point. He's acknowledging that the war on terror is first and foremost on everyone's mind. And since Kerry is a politician, he has to market himself to this sort of audience. It's hard to fight a war via legislation, which is why Bush has a leg up on Kerry in that aspect. That's why Kerry has to sell himself on his Vietnam experience, because it's all he's got as a counter. >His side note on not believing people are in grave danger ("Is there any other kind?") is just his personal belief. That's not a fault of his youth, since like you noticed, even JF thinks the same way. Rather, it's just a reflection of his unique world view. Thank you, Tench. -Z
