Up here, Kerry had the nickname "Liveshot Kerry" because whenever there was any news out of Washington, local Boston stations would always do the obligatory liveshot of Kerry on the Capitol lawn. Howie Carr used to say that the most dangerous place to be was to be between Kerry and a TV camera. Kerry is telegenic and he'll play this to his advantage (to many women voters, being telegenic is often the most important thing). But he'll annoy the hell out of the men with his East-coast Ivy League "I'm-superior-to-you" attitude.
Sam, you and I have completely different ideas of what "telegenic" means.
John Fitzgerald Kerry looks like a very, very bad caricature of John Fitzgerald Kennedy.
(I know his middle name isn't Fitzgerald but I am sure he'll get it changed soon).
I listened to him on Stepinthecrap's show this morning. Old John was given about 40 minutes of essentially uninterrupted face time. And he recited most ALL of the tired old issues the Dumbocraps always come up with.
In addition, he looked like a tired old hound dog who has the mange.
This guy ain't remotely telegenic even if that hair is really his, which I doubt.
