I've long believed that Kerry's vietnam communist connections will doom him. The east coast media wanted to see what could get dredged up. Now they know. Now they know that an electable candidate must be found elsewhere.

Edwards can show southern strength, and the establishment democratic base from east and west coasts will vote for anyone other than Bush.

There is time for Edwards to pull this out of the fire now that CLARK is out of the race.

Perhaps the Democrat machine would rather let it be "known" that Kerry dropped out of the race, like Gary Hart, over adultery rather than because he was a part of an antiAmerican antiwar movement. Rather than reopen the wounds of 1960s radical protest, keep activism alive and find a new candidate.

Paging Pres.. uh Senator Clinton. Those FBI files are coming in real handy. First the NYT writes an editorial about Kerry special interest money, then the Hanoi Jane picture starts floating around and now this. When will the other Dems learn that nobody gets in the way of the Clinton's plan?

I would suggest Kerry stay off of small, private planes.
