The GOP hasn't started with the "Kerry is an asshole" campaign - yet.

No, but they have started with the "Kerry is a traitor" and Kerry is a
womanizer" and "Kerry is an extreme left-wing super-liberal pinko" campaigns,
how far behind can that one be?



There are a LOT of 1st hand anecdotal stories up here in the Boston Area
that basicly have Kerry doing the "Do you know who I AM?" bit. Kinda like
Martha Stewart stories....

You can bet they're gonna trot them out..... and juxtapose them the Bush's
affableness.

The funny thing is, that's no more true than any of the rest of it. GW Bush has
always had a high sense of his own importance, even as a kid. I know a bunch of
people who have met him. The ones who knew him 'way back when say he was an
obnoxious drunk (or worse), not one says he is a genuinely nice guy in person.
However he does have the ability to seem like a nice guy... apparently that's
worth a heck of a lot.

I have some relatives who live up near Boston, they are not Kerry fans (but
hint that they still consider him better than Bush).
