you know, there's bad judgement and then there's bad judgement

I was speaking to a friend of mine as we were discussing the New Hampshire primaries, and she suggested to me that although Obama lost he had gotten the support of a democratic bigwig, but she couldn't remember who it was exactly. Turns out it was John "was that the best we could do in 2004" Kerry.

Describing this as the kiss of death is in no way hyperbolic dear readers. Last election ticket, with Bush and Kerry, was something of a dumb and dumberer deal. Now, it looks like Karry, not content to languish in the almost president boat, is finding solace in dragging mr Obama down underwater with him.

All I can say, is that depending on how fast Barrack sinks, we may get a little more attention to a candidate who deserves some airtime, Mr. Kucinich. A candidate who actually has a platform of progressive substance; the repeal of the patriot act, universal healthcare, getting on board with Kyoto, strengthening gun control, decriminalizing marijuana possession, legalizing samesex marriage....I could go on, but suffice to say, here's a democrat with a message that should be heard. But because of the elements of his platform he's been shut out of most of the televised debates. In Iowa, home to major pharmaceutical industry, he's been shutout of any of the primary debates for his stance on a public health care system.

Be nice if this little Obama faux pas let Denis get the exposure he is entitled to, just like any of the other candidates.

but, I suspect this is how America views him...
