There is the "favorite son" thing. A local politician who achieves national prominence has an edge over challengers.

I always thought Kerry was an empty suit, mouthing liberal pieties to promote his personal obsession with power and attention. (Not an uncommon trait in politicians of any stripe.)

Even local Democratic pols know that J-F-K stands for "just for Kerry."

I beg to differ on whether Newsweek is influential. It's an unreadable standing joke.

Hills competition is biting the dust.

John Edwards is next,,he best watch his back but that should be no problem given he has a mirror all the time whilst doing his pompadour.

Yeah! Who do you think has been advising Karl Rove all these years?!?!

Doesn't mean Karl has always listened, but hey - you can't say that good advice hasn't been offered!

It's going to be heart-breaking to watch a grown man cry.

Yo, Jon! Cry me a river.

pompodour or is it pompodore?

His big mass of hair,,Kerry's was better. YOu know hair on men that blossoms up from the head, gleaming, not one out of place. It requires lots of "product" and hairspray.

Kerry is unfit to command and it took Newsweek how many years to figure this out? His little joke episode was nothing different than what he has said many tmes before including in his famous Gengis Khan speech before Congress more than three decades ago.

What's different about this episode is that with the new media his remarks could not be spun or covered up.

"Swiftboated by his own party".......

and mostly by himself, in my estimation.

Kerry is a very conflicted man. I truly believe that, deep-down, he knows he's led the life of a phoney and a fraud. I also think the part that haunts him most is that he knows he was really a coward in VN and punked out. This causes him to try to act as Mr. Macho and also condescend others.
He really belongs in therapy, not the US Senate.

Too bad the people of Massachusetts dont get the message and vote this dork out of office.

I don't get it. Boston and its surrounds are the See of the high priests of self-annoited intellectual superiority, and they have this guy going around showing that the whole construct is a poor effort to ceate a Potemkin village without even enough intellect to support the gaudy and fraudulent facade that they try to hold up to the world.

If you're going to shoot yourself in the foot, make sure it isn't in your mouth.

Newsweek and the media in general are losing customers. They are trying to persuade sane people to buy their rags.
Last time I saw Newsweek it was on the floor behind the commode in the locker room, torn into wipe-sized sections.
