I'll grant you that. Until 2 years ago, did you know who he was? Did you know his name? Did you see him on the SINate floor or TV?
BTW, I like your poem!
Unfortunately for me, I grew up in a suburb of Boston, and I have followed Kerry's career through the Boston Globe out of curiosity. He originally ran for city council in Lowell.....a blue collar suburb of Boston, as a decorated Viet Nam vet, and faced a resounding loss. Next year, he ran as a war protester, and won. He learned to be a whore while still in his twenties, and nothing has changed since the late 60's, early 70's.
