Also, the press just does not seem to like him...his hometown paper is dedicated to digging up dirt and making issues out of the stupidest things like whether a speech about Roe v. Wade was actually Kerry's first statement in the Senate or his third...and they are going to do to him the same thing they did to Gore.
I am very surprised, also, that the GOP attack machine has not brought out several things that I thought would be a big issue for Kerry - being from "Taxachusetts" (I am just giving you the GOP spin - I was born in Massachusetts and I love that state!), having served as Dukakis' lieutenant governor, his opposition to the death penalty (the very issue that killed Dukakis, from what I understand), and all the other "out of the mainstream" liberal votes he must have cast if he has only a 6% rating from the ACU.
These are all things that make him attractive to me, but they are issues that the GOP is going to use against him and I am surprised that they have not already.
