Listen up folks. I was concerned about John Effing Kerry and his allies in the media … until I got a haircut yesterday. I went a shop in the mall. It’s hard to find a good hair stylist these days, so I have been going back to the same stylist for years. It so happens that the majority of the stylists - as well as the customers - are black.

The young woman who cuts my hair loves to banter. During the cut, I mentioned John Kerry. Her response was “Who?” I asked “Don’t you know who John Kerry is?” Her reply was: “Is he that actor?” We then asked the others in the shop: who could tell me who John Kerry is. To my surprise NO ONE KNEW!

Now this happened yesterday, AFTER john Kerry campaigned in Virginia AND WON THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY BY A BIG MARGIN. And this happened in a group made up of his natural constituency.

Right now, to political junkies, John Kerry looks formidable. He is all over the news and the Internet. In the real world, it’s “who is John Kerry?” Nobody knows. And that presents a golden opportunity to Bush because he can be pinned down and defined by our side. Before this election is over, he’ll be lucky to retain his seat in the Senate.
