Kerry at Bal Harbor Sheraton lulls them
radtechtravel | 4/21/2004 | Radtechtravel

Tonight, April 21, Democratic party Presidential candidate John 'F-is-for-flipflop' Kerry and Theresa Heinz made a fund raising and campaign appearance at the Bal Harbor Sheraton near Miami Beach, Florida. Nationally prominent Dems present included Senator John Corzine, Senator Bob Graham and Senator John Edwards. Elian Gonzales' attorney Kendall Coffe was also there along with prominent Florida Democrat Jimmy Morales.

It was hard to determine which was the greater problem with the event: lack of attendance or lack of enthusiam since both were very evident. Approximately 250-300 people stood silently listening to Senator Kerry's droll recitation of his by now familiar stump speech until some could take no more and began to leave first by twos and threes and then in larger groups. After Kerry finally said something that got an applause--about replacing John Ashcroft as Attorney General--he ended his speech, shook hands with John Edwards and quickly left the stage with Ms. Heinz the ketchup heiress in tow.

If this Kerry event is indicative of the quality of the remainder of the Kerry Presidential campaign, President Bush should, barring some unforseeable tragedy, win in November--handily.

MSNBC reported today that a lot of Kerry's Florida "appearances" have been sparsely attended.

I hope someone quotes these observations in Nov when Kerry loses Florida.

Dear John,

What you need is someone to warm up the crowd. You know, whip them up to a fever pitch. You got my number. Call me. And then afterwards, I'll teach you how to swing a hammer. You know...just in case.

Sincerely,
Jimmuh.

The only reason Kerry has any support at all is because he isn't George W Bush. That's the only thing going for him.

A more boring, tedious personality can hardly be imagined.

Lets track how close Edwards stays to Senator Kerry prior to their Boston convention...

Maybe I'm screwed up, but when I go to a campaign rally I expect to be rallied, not depressed. John Kerry's campaign speeches seem more like a something I might hear at a crisis center for battered wives, than a call to action for new leadership.

The simple truth is.... John Kerry is about as much fun as a fart in a space suit

This guy Kerry is in way, way over his head.
I just hope he can hang in there until the election is over and Bush is safely reelected.
