I rememer hearing that one of his nick names was "Data Boy". He appears to have been a font of arcane albeit sometimes useful information. He was and is no dummy and has in fact used the perception that he's "not all that bright" to out flank opponents throughout his political career.

I'd suspect he's used this strategy at least since his high school days at Andover where he became familiar with and developed a deep dislike for eastern elitist snobs. The fact that he's now running against a pampered overbearing pseudointellectual stuff shirt yankee is actually high irony. Personally I expect he will smilingly mop the floor with Kerry in the debates.

I remember how to spell "remember" but forgot to use spell check.

I agree that he was tested when he went to prep school and did not "apologixe" for acting like a Texan. He got the measure of the elitists then and just like judo learned how to use their "superiority" against them.


His blood was every bit as blue as theirs, but he did not let it turn him into a snob.
