Kerry should keep on opening up more
Thats part of what makes John Edwards an appealing guy, he opens up about his life experiences, I want more stories about yes hamsters and about riding your bike through East Berlin, then being proud of yourself then getting grounded. Of course other more serious stuff too, but Kerry who is open not only about his miliitary service but about his fatherhood and how he handles it with a smile, Kerry reminds me of bit of my own dad in that he's silly like Kerry can be. I think if we did that, we'd do real well.

1. I agree
based on my friend who is voting for Kerry instead of bush this time, simply because she thinks the pictures of the Kerrys and Edwardses families in Time recently were "adorable" and "just too cute", people must really go for that shit.

Plus it makes them more human. Less of a blank slate. That way bush will be able to define Kerry less and less because Kerry already has.

5. Yep! He comes off as a great father figure.
I admit in the beginning, I thought he looked like "Lurch", but after this convention and hearing his speech, he seems adorable to me. Much more "cuddly" - and FYI I am a guy!

You know what? I would love to have a beer with him. I'd take Kerry over Shrub anyday of the week any week of the year. Wise, earnest, intelligent man who led an courageous and interesting life compared to a wise-cracking jack-ass who got handed everything he had on a silver platter. No comparison, who'd I'd pick to drink with.

besides, I just know that Shrub is the type who drinks too much, gets raging drunk and throws all that "religion" crap out the window and starts bbreaking shit, starting fights and harrassing women and eventually passes out and pukes all over himself.

6. Oh if you read about Kerry's smarts like I have
then I think anyone would have a beer with Kerry, Kerry hates the yankees so we could talk about how to get rid of them, he also likes good literature, and hes funny too, his jokes arent lame like Bush's. I loved what he said about Cheney told Leahy to fuck off, just wait till November 2 and see what he says then.

11. Yes, tonight he revealed himself
That lack of emotional self is something that turned many people (Sadly) away from Gore.
Kerry needs to keep showing his heart to America, because I bet the more people learn about him, the fewer will be able to vote against him.
