I should have known there is no parodying Kerry's pandering. It turned out days later that the Kerry campaign has a plan -- nay, a promise -- to cure paralysis. What is the plan? Vote for Kerry.     I'm not making this up. I couldn't. This is John Edwards on Monday at a rally in Newton, Iowa: "If we do the work...

<p>Republican state treasurer nominee Tate Reeves is about as fine a young man as I've met.</p> <p>Smart, polite, hard-working, you name it. He and his wife make a nice couple.
