John Kerry: Schroedinger's candidate

So if you put Kerry in a box and bombarded him with radiation
he wouldn't be alive or dead until you opened the box and looked,
he would exist merely as a field of possibilities?

I'm rusty, school was a long time ago.

Sort of.
His positions on the issues currently exist as "merely as a field of possibilities".....;)

It's more of a political "is he/isn't he/flip flop" joke that apparently flops all on its own...:)

Quantam Mechanics can be fun!
Liberalism and the quantum theory of superposition are very simular. The principle of superposition claims that while we do not know what the state of any object is, it is actually in all possible states simultaneously, as long as we don't look to check. It is the measurement itself that causes the object to be limited to a single possibility.
