#1 Awesome editorial and from a paper in Kerry's home town. Dare I say a Rantburgian quality rant?

Gore's political epithet is written in the last paragraph:

It is Gore who has brought dishonor to his party and to his party's nominee. The real disgrace is that this repugnant human being once held the second highest office in this great land.

#2 the best part is this was basically his audition for the Dem convention speech rotation. Gore, Dean, Sharpton, and Kerry...woo hoo! we'll have some fun with that

#3 I have heard that the Boston media loathes him.

#4 For the most part the Herald is a decent
tabloid that falls down on the side of
common sense most of the time. It tends to be the working man's paper because it is a tabloid and the sports headlines are right on the back cover (say no more).

It is definitely considered lowbrow by Globe
and Times partisans.

#5 Low brow or not, the Herald, unlike the Globe, doesn't print p0rn0 photos on the front page and call them Iraqi rape photos.

#6 Phil B - I've followed Kerry ever since I was an undergrad. I was talking to this fellow female undergrad from Mass (I was a NH resident at the time) when she stated she was going to vote for Kerry "because he's cute", I kid you not.

Oh, your original point: There's one or two Kerry bootlicks in the local media (Globe writers, natch) but the rest can't stand him. The same goes for a vast majority of local politicians because Kerry rarely, if ever, helps them out, or returns their phone calls, or makes public endorsements for them. Basically, it's all about John Kerry.

How do you think Clinton got elected?

#8 Cute?!! As a female, I don't think so! He looks like Lurch to me. Plus I don't vote on looks although I also know some females who do.

Wonder if there are any males who will vote for Hitlary because they think she's good looking?

#9 He has just got to be nominated as player of the year in the international competition for self-flagellation. It should be held in Iraq on that holy day they flagellate themselves and cut slices into their scalps. He can be the anti-US team captain...

#11 1) Phil B - I've followed Kerry ever since I was an undergrad. I was talking to this fellow female undergrad from Mass (I was a NH resident at the time) when she stated she was going to vote for Kerry "because he's cute".

2)In the Battleground Poll (April), Senator John F. Kerry, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, won 55 percent of the women's vote compared to 42 percent for Bush. Men favored the president, 54 percent to 42 percent.
"Gender Gap 25%"

3) Amendment XIX:The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.

4) Was Amendment XIX a mistake?

#12 If you run a mathmatical algorhythm on this:
Electoral College :

Men : Bush 519 Kerry 19

Women : Kerry 494 Bush 44

#14 Yuck! Clinton or Kerry-both are very unattractive. Fellow American women--you need to get a grip on what is attractive-you're settling for too little.

Beyond that, how about voting for someone who has a brain. What was the quote from Amadeus? Something like
Money and looks don't matter...only talent.

#15 AF Lady,

I could go for Hillary, but given the title before my surname, I fear t'would be unrequited.
