If you want to trade Senators, you can have two do-nothing Senators in Alexander and Corker, a GOP controlled state office, and GOP governor, but keep the "likable" Brownie.

Sounds like people didn't want Senator Kerry to be seen as "likable"; therefore, non-political junkies repeat that and link him to Mutt Romney.

Why? Because the media said it, so it's true, but when the media lies about Obama, we all know it's false. Interesting.

It's also interesting that very few can answer as to why those large crowds showed up for someone that was/is so boring, wooden, unlikeable, and uncharismatic. They just wanted to be on TV or just came to see Springsteen or B. Clinton.

Thankfully Obama shows more respect for Senator Kerry than that. He still can't catch a break from his own constituents. Go figure.

The polls are completely manufactured. obxhead May 2012 #1
