Kerry is just one of the common people?
I wonder did you read the Friday, July 23, 2004 edition of USA Today. Their discussion about the changing nature of Nantucket Island (where Senator Kerry's wife Teresa owns a US$10,000,000 mansion, of all things!) shows that even the folks in the state of Massachusetts are not exactly too thrilled about Senator Kerry's rich elite status, either. 
Howie's been having a lot of shows recently with the theme, "your encounter with John Kerry." This is one of my favorites.
"Howie, one summer I did some work for Kerry at his place on Naushon Island. Every winter they have to round up the sheep and get them into the barns for the winter. A line of people starts at one end of the island and works its way across, through the brambles and marshes, pushing the sheep back across the island."
"So here we are in the thorns trying to get these stupid sheep to move, and where do you think Kerry is? He's up on his horse directing things. And then, you can't just say, 'move your fat ass you stupid sheep,' you have to say, 'Hi-On!'" (laughter).
Another story:
"I was docking my boat on Nantucket, and who do I see pull in but John Kerry. He had a large outboard with a huge engine. He was having a hard time maneuvering it in, so I grabbed the line and pulled him in."
"That's a pretty big engine you have there."
"Well, I'm a very important person." (laughter)
