"It's just simply this: In order for Kerry to win, he's got to carry women," says Andrew Kohut, director of the Pew center.

Carry them where?

Hopefully not to the bedroom . . . that'd be the last place I'd want!

Well He'll have a long wait if he thinks this gal is going to vote for him.

It's good, but it's too specific and limiting. You have to take into account the pedigree. It's fine to admire certain attributes of the mere working dog, the affable temperament, it's loyalty and it's ability to actual serve a useful purpose. But when dealing with a true show dog(or trophy husband or demagogic politician) who usefulness is clearly circumscribed to looking good while standing on a pedestal or sitting in the lap of a rich heiress, one must take into account the entire package. Sure, this picture speaks to the patrician aloofness (not to be mistaken as the vacuousness associated with severe inbreeding), the noble bearing (not to be confused with boarding school arrogance). But what of the regal plumage (you know, those fuzzy little balls of fur on the ankles and tail), the grooming(whether it be the $2000 pet shop cut in Beverley Hills or the $500 Christo on the private jet). And what of the perfect claws (or nails, in the case manicure to calm the pre-debate jitters). No, I'm afraid this just won't do. Try again.

Remember, ladies, if you are not worth over $200 million, you would never have been good enough for him.

I'll be crying in my pillow every night just thinking about that. Why are all the good one's all bought up already?

I bet he interrupted her cell phone conversation. Very telling.

He saw a camera and a photo op. I wonder what it would be like to be a in a family where your Dad saw you as nothing more than a prop. No wonder his first wife got out.

"It's just simply this: In order for Kerry to win, he's got to carry women,"

I can picture Kerry carrying his wife in a straight jacket.

I love the faintly disparaging term, "security mom," which seems to imply that there is something trivial in women's desire to think of their children's safety before all else.

This sure ain't over yet, by a long ways!!!

FO,
I have considered my earlier position concerning the Kerry Canine Avatar. I have come to the conclusion that my initial assessment was short sighted and rash. Your picture has much in it's favor. The French Poodle's expression shows the aristocrat's haughty insouciance. I can see this French Poodle, sitting in the heiress's lap, looking out the window of the private jet as they fly over the red states, pitying the pathetic sod-busters slaving away in our menial existence. The glasses are no doubt rosy, enabling French Poodle and patrician alike to see the world in a pleasant pinkish hue, a world where terrorists fear and obey the law, where the UN spends more energy preventing genocide than making profit on the backs of Iraqi children. And the beautiful colored coiffure, expensive (only the best for the heiress's pet) yet tasteful and trendy. The multi-colors represent the refined mind's refusal to think in the simple terms of the vulgar, unwashed masses; nothing is simply black and white for French Poodle or man (terrorism, Islamofacism, beheadings, good v. evil). These are complex issues requiring convoluted logic to decipher. And therein lies the problem. How can any picture capture the multifaceted personality of French Poodle or his politician doppleganger. Can any single image capture the complexity of either Poodle or man, beings with many, many moods and metaphorical faces, a different opinion for each of them? I think not. If only there was some film, perhaps 8mm, of the Poodle in action. Think of the the 8mm home movies of the French Poodle's primate cousin, wandering through burned out Vietnamese villages. Ah, to see the Poodle in all it's glory in this fashion. Alas, it is not to be. Therefore, it is only proper that I proffer this, my humble apology. This picture does indeed represent, as best as is possible, the spirit and sublime dignity that is jfk.
