Kerry's House of Ketchup #9

Kerry speaks.

This is a time for giving. My favorite tax-and-spend liberal Senator is certainly giving out vibes that he's losing it. His Good Morning America appearance and post-interview whine show a candidate without confidence. Still, events can and will occur that will lift up his spirits and poll numbers. This will be a close race all the way until Election Day.

This past week, I've discovered a gut-churning fact from the Green Bay Press-Gazette:

If the Redskins lose or tie the game before the presidential election, the party in the White House gets ousted. A Redskins win is a win for the incumbent party, too. At least, that’s how it has played out in the past 18 presidential elections.

Now, on to the posts:

• Since you can't get much higher than the Divine, Allah leads with Kerry's attempt at snagging the youth vote.
  
• Blaster quotes Kerry as saying, "No matter who wins the presidential election, the terrorists will lose." Good words, but we're just not sure how he'll do it. I don't think he is either.
  
• Kerry is making a push to the center. Kevin isn't buying it.
  
• A past anti-coal vote may cost Kerry West Virginia. In a close race, every electoral vote counts.
  
• Kerry may have trouble in Michigan with his "Union worker crippling 36MPG" agenda.
  
• Captain Ed has put together a picture of Kerry as a political relativist. Kerry ranks a stable Iraq above a free Iraq.
  
• JustOneMinute is holding the NY Times and the Kerry campaign to task over John Kerry's year's of military service and demonstrates that he was an anti-war protester while a Naval Reserve officer.
  
• Orrin Judd points out how important Teresa Heinz Kerry is to financing her husband's campaigns.
  
• Cracker Barrel Philosopher adds to this with Kerry's astonishing claim that he doesn't own an SUV. It's his family's.
  
• Wonkette explains it by declaring Kerry a "Zen master."
  
• Democrats are known as the party of the non-white. Those running Kerry's campaign buck that sterotype. He better watch out for a Jesse Jackson shakedown.
  
• Steven Taylor puts it succinctly: "This isn't shaping up as a particularly well-run campaign."
  
• Hindrocket at Power Line notices Kerry's color-coordination. Could he become the first metrosexual President?
  
• 30 years ago, Kerry was "opposed to abortion." My, how has he changed.
  
• John Kerry: savvy wealth preserver or greedy tax dodger?
  
• Steve Verdon explains Kerry's waffling and flip-flopping: "there is no real John Kerry."
  
• From the Kerry weblog, it seems Women for Kerry are very, very young.
  
• Finally, pick a Kerry ketchup t-shirt, any t-shirt. Now, where are the matching thongs? [I had nothing to do with this.]
