#1 "WTF is Kerry doing in a "spaghetti and steakhouse" on St. Patrickâs Day?"

Dunno, was it green spaghetti in a nice shamrock sauce ?

#2 Maybe they figured that they didn't want to remind people of that whole "I'm not Irish, but I'll let you think that's the case if it's good for my career" thing.

#3 Carl, it's Huntington, West Virginia. Jim's is most likely the only resturant.

#4 Steve's probably right - but I also think they are terrified of bringing up the fact that Kerry waffled on his heritage ...as well as everything else. After all of those years he thought he was Irish but was shocked! shocked! to find out he was part Jewish.

#5 Might have to do with the fact that West Virginia was holding a primary around that time.

Sometimes a cigar is just a cigar, guys :-)

#6 Yes the WV primary was key.

#7 Papa Joe spent a ton of his bootlegging money to help John Kennedy win the West Virginia Demo primary.That win pretty much wrapped up Demo nomination for JFK.W/out that win LBJ would have probably been Demo nominee,w/who knows what results.

#8 Having LBJ's boys stuffing half the ballot boxes in Texas didn't hurt any, either.

#9 His campaign staff is so out of touch they didn't warn him off of ordering a cheesesteak with Swiss cheese! (Still a great campaign photo IMO, wish I had it right now...)
