How would Soros' level money influence this market?

...pretending to eat lunch at Wendy's just like regular folks when your real gourmet lunch is waiting for you on the bus outside...

When Kerry visited Jacksonville he made a point to visit a local restaurant. Corine Brown(!) steered him to Jenkins Barbecue, a local Black run chain. Instead of eating there, Kerry went to the kitchen to ask the employees if they had health care policies. He then took his sandwich out with him and threw it away.

> (what's all this insisting upon having your maiden name inserted in all references to yourself – Heinz Kerry, Rodham Clinton – all about?)

Otherwise, putting his wife at the podium would be committing political "Terry Kerry".

Good article, and right on.

Terry Kerry did not use "Kerry" until the beginning of this campaign.

HRC was Hillary Rodham the entire time she lived in Arkansas, until Bill started winning primaries in 1992.

The enabling media tolerate these sleights of name because they refuse to criticize any 'ratic contender.

My only problem with the Kerry campaign is that it is imploding TOO QUICKLY. Right now I am wondering if the Democrats will try to pull a "Torricelli" in mid-October when it looks like the Kerry campaign is doomed and replace him at the top of the ticket with Edwards. Can this be done? The Democrats did it in New Jersey in 2002 but that was because the Democrat NJ Supreme Court was completely corrupt and ignored its own law that stated it was too late in the campaign to replace Torricelli. Also we would be dealing with many states and many of their state supreme courts would be loath to change the ticket in such a gimmick. But this still worries me. Could the Democrats legally pull this off in all those states? Also if Kerry is forced out, could a vote for a Kerry-Edwards ticket (unchanged on the ballots) legally be converted to a vote for Edwards for President?

I know it would be tough to convince Kerry to step down but I believe Hillary has enough dirt on him to force him to obey.

I read somewhere that Teresa never legally tacked on the Kerry name. She just added it on for the campaign-less confusing she said. She is still Teresa Heinz. She did change her voter registration to Democrat.

Even if it is mostly about "integrity", then we should also take into consideration such vignettes that are starting to pop up about this guy's personality and behavior:

First Hand Account re: John Kerry I would like to add my two cents about my John Kerry experience. During my career as an Air Force pilot, I spent two years flying a small twin engine prop plane around the Pacific from my base in Okinawa, Japan. On one trip we had to fly Senator Kerry, his congressional aide, and a Navy Captain (Vietnam, A-4 fighter pilot) who was also in Kerry's party to various locations in Vietnam and Cambodia as part of the MIA/POW talks. When I met him, he was wearing a shirt with a picture of his sailboat on it. I told him I had a small 27 foot sailboat in Okinawa, he remarked "Oh I never sail on anything less than 135 feet." When we first flew him into Phnom Penh, he went to the back of the airplane and grabbed the pizza that was put aside for the crew and passed it around to his staff. He was never offered any pizza because they were supposed to have lunch with the Cambodian government once we landed. The pizza would have been our only meal that day. When we picked him up in Cambodia, he was an hour late getting to the airport. We could not start the engines and therefore the air conditioning until he arrived. Phnom Penh at that time was over 100 degrees with 95% humidity and we were basically sitting in a greenhouse behind the cockpit windows. When he finally did arrive, we were wringing out our clothes from the perspiration. He walked out of the air conditioned car, into the airplane and asks us "Could you guys get the air conditioning running, I'm a little warm?" The other pilot had to physically restrain me from going back there and picking a fight. Then we took him into Noi Bai airfield in Hanoi. After we picked him up the next day (he stayed the night in Vietnam, we stayed in Bangkok) we taxied out, ran up the engines for takeoff, and noticed that our prop was vibrating all over the place. We taxied off to the side to look at it, but there was a good possibility that there was an engine malfunction and the engine may fail if we took off with it. Well, Mr. Senator sticks his head up in the cockpit and says "This plane WILL take off, I have a press conference in Bangkok in three hours!" (Maybe this is an indication of how he will run the FAA). We ran the engines again, and did not have the problem, so we took off and made it back. During the flight, he told everyone how he had taken a Cessna (a small General aviation plane) up with a fighter pilot, and the fighter pilot remarked that Kerry was one of the best pilots he had ever seen. I don't know about other pilots out there, but it's hard to imagine a little, single-engine prop plane pilot being able to show the "right stuff." After Kerry left the plane, the Navy Captain came up to us, apologized and said basically that "he knows Kerry is a jerk" and that we should be glad we don't have to deal with him every day.

Others on their board are opining on whether or not they should "take to the streets" and revolt to overthrow the government if Kerry loses. Too funny!

Except that I believe this threat is real. I am almost certain the Far Left will be rioting after they lose in November.

When they "take to the streets" if Kerry loses fair and square, what better reason than to then immediately jail them for sedition and get them out of our hair once and for all. I say, Concentration camps for radical leftists who wish to destroy America and turn us over to the radical Islamists on our knees!

Both Teresa and John Kerry are a couple of sponges, leeching off the millions left behind by the late Sen. Heinz.

I've always wondered why Heinz never got a prenup.

I kinda agree.

I think Teh-ray-zah is capable of much worse in public.

It's just a question of punching her buttons the right way and she'll blow up.

She hasn't had her Dean moment yet...but she will.

"Well said", indeed... especially this telling paragraph:

When you watch this campaign you realize there is no choice – George Bush is the only choice. The contest is between people who have class and people who are just angry, and the only phrase they can think of to describe Bush supporters is "goons."

Hey, did you see Drudge? Everyday he bashes the hell out of Kerry..hee hee! Now he`s got in big bold letters at the top of his page; "VIET VETS CHARGE: KERRY KILLED A LONE, FLEEING, TEENAGE FOE; LIED TO SUPERIORS TO GAIN MEDAL" Matt Drudge, you are doing a tremendous service for your country! I LOVE it!! Everyday, bit by bit this Kerry is going to be exposed for the absolute fraud that he is.

Just following Ted's advice...Clinton, Kennedy to Speak at Convention
But the larger battle for freedom, justice, equality and opportunity is our battle too, and it is never fully won. Each new generation has to take up the cause. Sometimes with weapons in hand; sometimes armed only with faith and hope, like the marchers in Birmingham or Selma four decades ago.

I imagine Theresa has already done much worse in public, however, it has not been reported.
