I think it's probably true Kerry's pedigree is closer to the heart of things than the Clintons or Gore. As an aside, if I were to write a similar analysis of the Clintons and Gore it would go along these lines:
Clinton: Bill's links to William Fulbright and Fulbright's antiwar activity. Hillary's background with Saul Alinsky. Bill and Hillary's background at Yale Law with Communist professors at Yale. Hillary's work with the Black Panthers. Hillary's internship with Communist lawyer Robert Treuhaft. Bill and Hillary's work on the Watergate investigation. Hillary's work with Communist-linked philanthropical groups in the 80s. Bill and Hillary's links to Harold Ickes, Morton Halperin, Anthony Lake, etc.
Gore: Gore's father's links to Armand Hammer, named as a key Soviet courier in FBI files. Gore's environmentalist activity in the 80s. Gore and Chinagate. Background on personnel on Gore 2000 campaign.
Another issue I didn't get a chance to delve into in this article is the Kerry-Kennedy connection.
Please ping for part 2. Good work!!! Scary, but good!!!
