We are supposed to listen to kerry's(not capitolised on purpose) demands about questions of anyones military service when documented pictures of him in the early seventies after his Viet Nam service indicate his utter disdain for the military by the improper wear of his uniform(awards placed on utility uniforms and improper hair length while in uniform)?

After all he(kerry) said and done after he returned from service including the improper uniform wear, are we supposed to really trust him at all about his prospects as a potential Commander in Chief?

After kerry's actions, post service, why should we even take his questions about anyones service seriously?

These are questions, that neither kerry, mcauliffe or the entire demoCommiecRAT party WILL NOT TRUTHFULLY answer!!!!

#2 and #3 reposted for benefit of the readers.

I think its a very good possibility that he never was anything more than a placeholder. The man is the worst candidate ever.

I saw him give a speech condemning the removal of steel tariffs (to avoid a trade war) and then answered the first question from a reporter by admitting he wouldn't put them back in place...

The man is insane.

[goldensky]

The media will find some way to save him, a la Clinton and "60 Minutes" in 1992.

[paul51]

He's deaning out too early.

[thoughtomator]

Yet the Dem faithful faithfully adhere to him still!

[GeronL]

The media will find some way to save him, a la Clinton and "60 Minutes" in 1992.

He will apologize on national TV for being an idiotic bore?

[Cyclops08]

Actually this could be just what the democrats need...

A spectacular open convention. Who will be the nominee?
Played right the drama could hypnotise the US!
Fascinated, people would watch a call, no a plaintive cry, "Hillary, SAVE US!" And she would come in, coronated, and with a rocket boost in the polls--she could win...

certainly, the dems who would normally stay at home this year would dance to the elections in November.

[GeronL]

Exactly. And she would have won no primary, faced no scrutiny in the media and could be the next Hitler for all anyone knows or cares.

[tessalu]

The Democrats should have found a decent man to run, and not some turn coat that threw away his military metals, no matter if he did not throw everything all at once. USA needs a real man to stand up and defend the USA. This is the only country that we have, and we do not need a Jane Fonda turncoat for President. This is demoralizing.

[Defender2]

#11. Exactly. The only somewhat decscent person they had in the primaries was Lieberman. They continue to select the bottom of the barrel.

[John Lenin]

The Clintons foreign handlers are getting nervous Bush has blown their cover with the UN fiasco, anything is possible now. They will do anything to get back in power to save the UN.

[Robert_Paulson2]

hillary.
is on the way.
can't you smell her flaming broomsticK?

[GeronL]

I can imagine the 'Draft Hillary' movement has just begun, well in public anyway/

[kcvl]

she would have won no primary, faced no scrutiny in the media

THE ONLY WAY THAT SHE CAN WIN! She has NEVER had to face the American people to scrutinize her lies and NEVER will thanks to the liberal, lying, partisan, phony, elite media.

Kerry could possibly be one of those people that even the liberal media cannot save.....

[Oldeconomybuyer]

The media will find some way to save him, a la Clinton and "60 Minutes" in 1992.

The media didn't save Bill Clinton in 1992, Hillary did. Among the many problems Kerry faces is that the widow Heinz ain't no Hillary.

Remember, Kerry didn't "win" the democrat presidential nomimation. He was the beneficiary of a foot-fault by Howard Yeeaaaaggghhh Dean, a rabid democrat base who went to the polls based solely on who did the best Bush-bashing, and a set of 9 opponents that looked like a freak show.

It's not surprising that buyers remorse is setting in at DNC headquarters. Kerry is a pathetic candidate whose own words and past were not properly vetted in the primary process by either the media or the democrat elite.

[Roy Tucker]

Interesting, but if it happens it will make a mockery of the entire primary/nomination process that has evolved to determine the candidates. Who would go through the primary process knowing that if they were successful but flagged against the other party's candidate they would have the rug pulled from under them.

I don't think the Torricelli option is quite appropriate because there was the little matter of his conviction on corruption charges as opposed to his unpopularity. A better analogy is 1996 when we Republicans knew we were all going down to defeat with Bob Dole. Even though someone handpicked would probably have run a more exciting race against Clinton, no Republican proposed taking the nomination away from Bob Dole.

I'd like disgruntled Dems to turn to Ralph Nader as their candidate. Heh, heh, heh.

[Sabatier]

I read that headline to mean they were going to replace Kerry with Toricelli.
