I heard a talk-show caller say a few months ago that John Kerry should win the presidency "because he and Teresa as just sooooooooo glamorous!" (breathless adoration) The host (Rush) pressed her on why Kerry should be president: policies? Couldn't answer. Senate accomplishments? Couldn't answer. Promises as to where he would lead America? Couldn't answer. But John and Teresa "should be couple of the year," the gal said, and thus Kerry deserved to be president.

Yes they do.

And to rub salt in that wound, I usually find myself in line at the polls standing in front of, or behind, just such people. You know before you even start voting that your vote has been "cancelled" by the likes of them.
