    NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOooooooooooooooooooooooo!!

  2. Ammonium   22 years ago

    Ummm.... does that mean that I don't get to vote for President AGAIN this year?

  3. Norman   22 years ago

    After he said he was in the campaign for the long haul? How can it be? Are politicians not men of their words? Of course they are. It's just a matter of whatever word is spoken last.

  4. Utterly Brainless   22 years ago

    Gosh darnit, and he was so CUTE!

  5. B.P.   22 years ago

    So who becomes the Democratic nominee when Kerry is photographed sodomizing an intern with a cigar on the deck of the "Monkey Business"?

  6. joe   22 years ago

    Are you kidding? What could possibly do more to win over the "swinger voters?" I keep hearing about how important they are.

  8. Andrew   22 years ago

    Now at last we can get down to the issues, instead of blather about Kerry's "electability".

  9. Douglas Fletcher   22 years ago

    Johnny, we hardly knew ya.

    Let's keep it that way.

  10. Douglas Fletcher   22 years ago

    What are you talking about? Half the battle for some of these candidates is to somehow convince the electorate that the candidate isn't going to be in totally over his head when he plants his can in the Oval Office. Reagan convinced them, McGovern didn't. There's probably other good examples, but the question of whether or not Kerry is even electable isn't necessarily just horse race stuff.

  11. Jason Ligon   22 years ago

    I wonder if he is still an optimist ...

  12. Joe Majsterski   22 years ago

    Overall, it's a good thing. This country will really be on its last legs when we elect a trial lawyer president.

  13. JimInNoVA   22 years ago

    No comments about "Dear John" letters? =D
