By Thomas B. Edsall and Dan Balz Washington Post Staff Writers Sunday, March 23, 2003; Page A04

When will the people in that state break their chains with the liberals? Oh well, might as well ask if any of their senators know how to swim.

So, right off the bat, he has tossed away his single biggest advantage over his Democrat opponents.

Line up foot in crosshairs, take aim, sqeeeeeze slowly.

Kerry, the Muskie of the New Millennium.

I think Teresa is a little too smart for the JFK wannabe to let him get his hands on Heinz money that should be going to the Heinz heirs, two sons.

Hillary could hire some private detective goons(she knows a few) to follow him around, get some dirt, some bimbo, feed it to The Enquirer and then..... What am I talking about? She would never do that.. never mind.

Ah, Hitlery would never do something like that. Ha...She's probably got dirt on all of them by now.. The question is how much dirt do they have on her and will they use it?
