Although I would not vote for a socialist like Dean it pleases me greatly to finally see that pretentious phoney Kerry get shellacked right in his home turf. Somehow the public has seen through his phoniness and his campaign is deader than Buddy Clinton. His motorcycle gig, posing with a big cigar a al Arnol, the glamour mag shots of him in the wetsuit with subsequent discussion of the "bulge" in his crotch. What pretentious BS. In MA the nickname for the guy is "live shot". He is only visible hereabouts just prior to the election every 6 years. And visible in a series of coreographed live TV shots that are supposedly spontaneous. Folks here buy it. It's nice to see that the rest of the country is more discerning.
