Edwards lack of experience

An amusing anecdote re Kerry's website: Earlier this spring, some wonk with time to spare, utilzing the website's own keyword search function, found the site to be liberally seasoned with what most charitably would be termed questionable language ... lotsa good-old-fashioned-anglo-saxonisms, mostly, and many of them from Kerry himself, as quoted by the likes of Rolling Stone, Time, The Washington Post, The Times of London, CNN, ABC/CBS/CNN/FNN/MSNBC/NBC, and others. The "Find" was broadly publicized on the 'net, though not played heavily by Mainstream Media. Kerry's website traffic, and use of the websites' keyword search feature, spiked dramatically as the curious verfied for themselves. Literally hundreds of impolite references would be returned. Today, however, typing the "F Word" into the search box brings up not instances of its occurrance, but only references to such things as the FEC and farming.

There was something like that with Bush and typing in idiot or something to that effect. Actually there were two google searches along the same line. I think that goes for everyone, people have a lot of free time I guess to piss around with the computer.

Thanks for the article. Edwards is not the web behind the ears young un that he's being painted as. That image will quickly evaporate when he hits the campaign trail. Unlike Cheney and Bush he will be talking to all Americans and not just those who paid $2,000 to see him.

Are you suggesting that Edwards won't be doing any fund raising?

Hey Bi-Polar! hope you and squinney are doing well.

Kerry/Edwards was just here in FL I was bummed I couldn't go but then again it's about a 110 degree heat index here now. A friend got a pretty good pick of them walking up and Kerry gave her two thumbs up.

I'm pretty excited about this ticket and have been for quite sometime. Edwards will bring a much need zest to the ticket.

Polls can be as biased as they are structured to be ... and often they are. Recall if you will the recent flap about the LA Times oversampling of Democrats. Consider also the subject, phrasing, and even the order of questions can influence the outcome. The only way to draw meaningful conclusions from polls is to consider as broad a selection of similarly-themed polls as can be made, and to weigh not the individual single-results but rather the trending-over-time; nimh does some very valuable work for us in this regard. And, of course, bear in mind the only presidential preference poll that really counts is the one held on the first Tuesday in November every 4 years.

Kerry isn't the devil.
Wait he is.
No, now he's not.

Is there such a thing as a flip flop devil?

BUSH

I'm against a Homeland Security office..........No I'm for it.

I'm against the 9.11 commission............No I'm for it

I'm against Nation building................No I'm for it

None of these are flip flops, just quotes taken out of context, often not even by Bush himself.

... (I really should learn to cluster my replies, btw)

Kerry and the Democrats to make an unabashed appeal to the millions of Americans whose spiritual beliefs are central to their lives.
