Know what would help Kerry?

[Comicstripper]

Not enough people know he's a cancer survivor. They know he's a veteran, but they don't know his more human side. People love a sob story. Will the Dems play it up at all? Should they?

2. Not advisable.

Remember Paul Tsongas? Revelations of his battle against cancer killed his campaign. Though Kerry seems to be healthy enough at the moment, you aren't considered "cured" until you're clean for 5 years. If the Pukes were to play up the cancer thing, combined with Edwards' relative lack of experience, it's not a great combination. Especially when they'll link that to "who do you want in charge when the terra-ists hit us again?? :scared: "

4. It has to be handled with kid gloves...

...there are those who want Superman in the WH...even B* is not very forthcoming with his own medical records...the usual "clean bill o'health from the Presidential physician" kind of thing, but they don't list his on-going RX's I would say JK is right to not embrace it, but not to run from it either.

5. Actually, starting a rumor about Junior's health would be easy enough....

Dumbass can't stay on a bike for more than 30 seconds without falling off. He passes out from eating pretzels. He can't ride an "idiot proof" Segway that his 80 year old father mastered instantly. Could just be stupidity, of course, but just as likely a medical problem.
